And I too found Bahamut extremely useful. Especially if a character is casting spells at half the mp cost. Very powerful attack. Never tried miming him though to be honest. I'll have to remember that from now on.

I'd rather be protected by 'Blink' than Golem, as Blink completley protects against physical attacks, for a garunteed 3 attacks. Whearas, if you cast Golem against say shinryu, shinny will break golem down in one hit. Plus blink only costs 9MP

Carbunkle is a summon i don't use. But against a foe who uses magic, what else is better? You will have to use Whitewind to heal, but i usually have a Blue mage handy anyway

I'd also like to note, Bahamut is not very powerful. It's the fact his attack hit's without taking defense into account. So he will inflict the same damage on everything. He's no more powerful than odin or leviathan, but a foes defense can reduce their damage
