Thinking about avatars

BLM:57 WHM:54 Summoner: 22 WAR:56 THF:68

Here comes the bad news. i gotta do my LEVEL 20 avater fights. I am probably gonna put this off as much as I can until I am thinking of nothing else. I want to just be able to skip it but I think part of the Summoner experience is getting through these avatar fights.

I have learned something else that was ingenious about SE and what they did to Summoner. They included a skill that you have to work on in between parties. I sat there for at least 6 hours the other day and raised my Summoning skill from 28 to 51 by just Summoning avatars. I was thinking that perhaps this was a waste of time since someone told me that all it did was increase my spell interruption ability, but no, I have noticed that my avatar now hits far more often during fights and does decent damage with their spells.

Whew, I was about to sell my Energy Rings too which give +6 MP but nah. I can see now that they are better than the Knowledge Rings that give +4 INT. It's lucky I went to the job forums too and learned a little bit about the job from the experts. They say that INT has NO bearing on whether your avatar's Blood Pact(BP) will get reisisted.
