Summoner and DoTs

[Alhanelem]

Another thing is most people just leave the pet on automatic, even though, especially with garuda, manual control yields significantly better results (They need to fix the AI, Garuda can use Contagion with Sic even if there are no dots on the enemy at all). In order to use Ifrit-egi against Ifrit, you need to put him on manual control to prevent him from stunning ifrit and contributing to stun resistance.
Commanding your pet to move with Place can also be valuable. Fighting Hydra, you can move your pet to the tanks to soak up Triumvirate damage (Your pet will die a lot, but it makes things easier on the tanks and makes using 1 tank more possible)

1. Make our rotation less frustrating (if it is)
2. Make our rotation less boring (it totally is)
3. Make our rotation have more to do with DoT interaction (it currently does nothing with dots, other than they "existing").
4. Give us some neat pet interactions more than Rouse/Spur and moving them.

1) it's not really frustrating to me
2)this is subjective, but I don't think it's boring at all- We use more abilities on a regular basis than most any other job.
3) I'm not really sure what kind of interaction you want. We already have a damage spike based on active DoTs, and an ability that spreads dots in an AoE and has a chance to reset their duration. The only other idea I would have would be an ability that consumes the DoTs to do something.
