While playing around with the beast soulshots on my summons, I quickly ran into -- well, an annoyance. Each time your summon is dismissed, or dies (? Haven't had one die on me lately, so.. ;p), the automated use kicks off.
While this may make sense to certain groups, compare this to using regular soulshots. You can automate soul, spirit, and blessed of different grades, switch weapons and back, and it never kicks off. When "changing weapons" on my summoner, why am I penalized like this?
Thus, my suggestion. Have beast SS automated until the player turns it off, or have regular SS turn off in the same manner.
If all the other classes had their 'shots kick off every 20 minutes, I'm pretty sure they'd find it a bit annoying, too. :)
