I'm a bit confused about the new updates on Summoner. Do any of these actually benefit other classes, or just increase utility with other classes as mains due to summoner not having class only tact bonus?
The changes to Point assist and Support fire make it more viable as a sub for classes that either
A. Can't normally use techs, but don't want to gimp their normal damage/use rainbow weapons.
or
B. Don't have any simple bossing options and want to use pets for that (soooo basically just techer).
Su basically has class only tact bonuses on account of 30% of their damage bonuses coming from main only skills though.
I can't think of another class with main only skills that work with pets and add more damage than that.
EDIT: Solo Gu/Su using crafted Safoie and Ramegid is goofy though. You can build a chain faster than jump canceling.

That and techs basically. Crafted safoie is actually really good for doing air combat, or repositioning with weapons that can't usually get very high. And of coruse the usual Megiverse, Zanverse, and Zondeel. I can't imagine it being a good sub in a party for organized stuff though.
I can't record videos. Otherwise I would. I'm not actually good at managing chains anyway, I just find it amusing. You basically cast uncharged ramegid and spam uncharged safoie. Since crafted safoie goes off instantly at point blank you just build a ton of chains REALLY fast.
crafted ramegid does 3 hits regardless of the charge. Crafted safoie just pulses damage around you. You CAN run out of PP, but with attack PP restorate it's pretty easy to just do a few mech gun shots for the last few chains. I mainly use it for enemies that only stay vulnerable for a short time. Also, I think most Fo/Gus know that Ilbarta is good for maintaining chains while out of mech gun range.
I'm not sure, but I think WB still does enough to make most things a weakspot, so you should still get the WHA bonus, unless that's not how it works. Either way, for anything where you're dealing with WB Jamming (other than solo XQs and maybe TAs) you'd probably be in a group and be better off letting someone else use Zanverse and do the healing, to focus on your own damage. Unless you're specifically building for it (I forget if Gu/Su has good zanverse damage or not).
