    Re: Carbuncle's Ruby ..... HELP!

    The ruby is hard to get; I must have dumped in nearly 20 hours of actual play time farming it.

    As for SMN being DD before Lv.70, I'd say only only the good players can be--and they do it by cooperating with other DD's. Two examples:

    - On my RDM in Yhoator Jungle, I once partied with a SMN who had avatar out whenever he had MP, melee'ed with his staff, and never once casted a cure or used a buff. He and his avatar together did less damage than the WHM--he utterly failed at DD, even though it was the only thing he tried to do.

    The guy was an idiot--thanks to him and his likes, you'll find some party leaders ask SMN's not to use any summoning magic and stick to cures.

    - On my SAM in Garlaige Citadel, I had a SMN who opened Distortion for me with Carby, backup cured, and buffed the party with Arial Armor.

    That SMN was great--DD, healer, and support--what every SMN should be, IMO.

    Bamboo shadows sweep the stars,
    yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
    Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,
    leaving no trace in the water.

      What you're saying is very possible to do as I have done it a couple of times on early levels.
      However this highly depends on partysetup and cooperation of other (support) members.

      When the partyflow is good you can indeed do several things as summoner to help your party and have some fun with avatars.
      Summoners can very easily DD on early levels by participating in skillchains or magic burst.
      Also highly underestamated are the Summoner's debuffs.
      These days it should be a lot easier tho since SE separated offensive and defensive Blood pacts into seperate timers.
      Most people (even summoners) don't even know the potential of a lower level summoner as DD in skillchains and the like.
      Bad experiences with less skilled summoners lead to people inviting summoners only to main heal.
