You cannot yet summon another elemental.

I know your not able to conjure another elemental until you get the 'You feel able' message.

My question is why does it sometimes take another tick after the elemental leaves for you to summon another?

Also, I really wish death would re-set the timer as well, but thats another discussion.

There's a certain cabal pet *cough* that's the same.

That's true, and it would be fine if it were a consistent thing. It's not. Most times, your elemental vanishes and you get the "able to conjure" message stacked right below the elemental vanishing messages. Sometimes, however, you get the vanish messages and have to wait another tick (sometimes more, I've had to wait up to two before) until you can conjure another.

EDIT: And yes, death should reset the timer, or it should at least continue to count down while dead.

I've bitched about this since they changed it to prevent people from waiting off fatigue in the river.

It's not going to change any time soon.

This is funny, because I was pretty sure they'd done something along these lines, but dying and getting rez'd removes fatigue, is it supposed to work like that? BTW, I've made full use of this, 1SD is a lot better than massive fatigue.

My mistake, I meant SD, not fatigue.

Okay, I couldn't summon an elemental for five ticks after it left today.

When your trying to RP in Teron where an enemy could show up at any second its kind of BS, I had to leave a lowbie I was RPing with out of fear of getting ganked.

Whats going on here?

Seems strange because they both the same timer. Were you with your elemental the entire time or did it get left behind somewhere for awhile?

It was across logins, best I can remember I didn't get separated from it.

Did you void out at all? That seems to completely kill the elemental timer.
