Element questions.

[kori]

hi to everyone.
i'm new here and don't speak english very well sorry:sweat:
I' m a carbuncle only summoner (at 30 whm i've switched my whm in a smn) and want to lev up to 25 before rechange my job to whm and lev up to 55 and start the avatar's missions.
now i'm lv 21 near 22 and I have 3 spirits: wind,earth and water.
but i can't understand why a spirit eat a lot of mp than an avatar but hitting for the same amount of damage. in blodd pact command they doesn't have any special ability and everytime I cast them in fight they doesn't cast any magic.

-how spirts works?
-they grows up when smn lev up?

thx :sweat:

It seems that all the spirits (elementals) are just emergancy summons to throw at an enemy that aggros you to give you a chance to run.

I have the same plan as you in levels by the way. I'm going to stop SMN at 25 and keep leveling WHM until I get decent summons.

My light spirit seems to cast sooner after being summoned *sometimes*

Light spirit is the only type I know that does something while you aren't fighting, it 'buffs' you (but mp expended before it does this is too high really, unless you are waiting on pt membes).
Lately it likes to cast regen on me :spin: or sometimes shell.
If its fighting something, it casts offense spells like banish/dia instead.

After getting autorefresh at 25 and using juice, they are just way too much of a mana pig to use for anything but skilling up or emergency. Carbuncle costs about half as much to keep out.
Supposedly 40+ spirits tap into more powerful magic (light spirit at 50 casts Holy im told) but you can't control when it will cast.

I still want dark spirit and thunder (if it exists) to finish the set in case they fix them.
