In the 1.4 seconds, it took to change my gear, a dozen Monstrosity Scarabs were already swarming me. If I was in my Archer class, I would've been able to take care of them easily and from a safe distance, but because I was on my Samurai class, I needed to get up and personally. My female Vermillion Drake pet was soaring above the entire battlefield providing me with HP heal, MP heal and was stunning any Scarabs that were sneaking behind my back. She was also occasionally raining fireballs down at Oryx when she wasn't assisting me.
