Okay, the one Abyssea party I was in that had a summoner she actually joined the group, summoned Odin and two hour-ed right off.
The problem is, for the first hour or so when you first join a group if you kill anything everyone loses time. Everyone gets three 30 minute stones and to remain longer you have to farm time extensions which take about an hour to start dropping. Each time you kill something without a time extension everyones overall time goes down. So you're suppose to help damage deal it down, then disengage and let others get the kill shot who have gotten time extensions already when you join an existing group.
So right off everyone was slightly annoyed because she lost us time, but it was her first time in so she didn't know. Plus we only had four mobs in camp and while it appeared to me she killed every single one of them she was told not to 2 hour until they had pulled more mobs for massive exp. I'm guessing by that statement Odin kills whatever you've got. I'm not a summoner so I could be wrong.
