Got Summoner!! Need help >.>

[Horus]

Alright so I got Summoner, and I must say, it is ALOT of fun! I'm a TaruTaru and I like to stick to the mage jobs, and this has got to be the best!
I have the super shiny ninja by the name of Carbuncle with the Earth, Air, Fire and Ice spirits.
I'm now level 11 and I'm at the dunes. After I cast Carbuncle and tell him to attack, I find myself doing pretty much nothing. I stand there while Carby kicks the mob's ass.
Is this normal? I basically stand there and throw in a Poison Nails here or a Healing Ruby there.
What I'm asking is, Will this always be the case or will it change when I get the other avatars?

Re: Got Summoner!! Need help >.>

Normally your in the role of main healing. Usually
I can't remember the correct macors exactly but you get the idea.
/ma "Carbuncle" <me>
/assault
/pet Poison nails
/release
then cures if needed or /heal to regain mana. If your not main healing you might be able to leave carby out to keep hitting the mob, but the mp drain and not being able to heal while the summon is out means you need juice to offset the mp drain.

The elementals look cool but so far the only thing I've used them for is playing a joke on friends to look like I've been agroed by an elemental. You'll love Garuda's blinkaga and Ramuh's thunderspark in later levels. Don't worry about getting them until level 20 when the solo battles open up.
