New Avatars Are Coming

[Drhatchet]

Vision
Mystics who conjure avatars to fight by their sides, then sit back and enjoy the show while paying close attention to their MP as their minions deliver devastating blows to adversaries and provide aid to allies

We intend to make it easier for avatars to wreak havoc upon enemies, but also emphasize how vital the act of managing the source of their magical powers is to summoners.

Example Adjustments

A new ability that expends an additional amount of MP to shorten the recast time for blood pacts.
Introducing the avatars Cait Sith and Atomos.

Not so excited Atomos is coming since it will have to be another 2h ability, but Cait Sith could be fun.

[Korpg]

I hope that neither are 2hr only avatars.

Maybe Cait Sith will become our new Light elemental avatar.

...damn, need to finish WotG stat!

[Neonii]

I don't like the mp statement. And if one is a two hour how much more mp can it take? Are we gonna have some type of mp debt?

[Dohati]

what...? cait sith is an avatar??? since when!? o_O

[Inafking]

If there are like Odin and Alex where they use the 2hr, don't even bother, Square.

[Bubeeky]

wow such negativity even before the idea gets off the ground...other threads were convinced there wouldn't even be new avatars, so be happy lol

what...? cait sith is an avatar??? since when!? o_O

Next update lol

[Kensagaku]

Atomos may not be a 2hr ability. I remember there was one WoTG mission where you fight a Cait Sith that summons Atomos in a smaller form; it's possible that we'll get something like this with extended BPs. On the other hand, you may be right and it may be a 2hr that drains HP/MP/Stats from the enemy and gives it to you (his specific move in the mission). We really won't know until the update.

i've a feeling Atomos is gonna suck


..literally

Hopefully both of them will be full-time avatars. Cait Sith will do just fine as the next light based avatar.

as for Atomos, if its not fulltime, then its probably 2hr styled.. and it'd better be something useful, like say reduce all stats, eva, mag eva, def, mag def, removes all beneficial statuses and prevents beneficial statuses for a certain period of time. Ultimate Suck!

Sorry if this sounds negative but

If there are like Odin and Alex where they use the 2hr, don't even bother, Square.

I agree with this 100%. I don't need another Toy i can only use once every 2 hours. I love SMN as a job, But the last thing we need on our plate is another avatar so situational, it can only be used once every 2 hours, and is weighted between 3 others (Odin, Alexander, Atomos, and Cait sith).

I'll wait for that particular update though, as I right now don't have any expectations on this. Because they haven't mentioned them being 2hour only and I dont think Cait Sith would be a logical "2hr only" mob.
