Summoner -Rework- Confirmed

[Zodathria123]

with new class system coming up and removal of base classes "cough" arcanist. meaning everything start out as base "Job" summoner is getting rather slight rework. this really all info i have but here. is what i think their gonna do


1. instead of each pet fulfilling specific role. the player it self can choice want role that individual pet takes. while pet the pet is out.

"Delta Force"
Changes the role in watch your pet takes
Range DPS - Abilities Change pet and summoner gain 20% skill speed/attack speed increase
Tank Mode - your pet tanks reduces damage and its attack produce enimity also 10% of damage you take is shared with pet
Melee Mode - your pet gains 20% damage increase.

2. New Egis. "Summoner will get total 6 egi's too choice from" each having different 2 different abilities then last. but also sharing 2 abilities regardless what pet you choice
new egis most like me core set
Titan
Ifirit
Ramuh
Shiva
Garuda
Levithan

ranged dps abilities never change no matter what pet - auto-attack and contagon
Tank Abilies never change - single target tank attack. and its aoe tank attack
melee abilities - (getting reworked cause lack in strengh)

sense the pet has a pet bar this really helps with ability bloat we are having

3. Summoner will still be a damage over time based job, so you won't feel like your
Summoners Aetherflow - is renamed "Aethersurge" and scholars get "Aetherflow"

"Aethersurge" - instead increase you and your pets damage by 20% for 12 seconds
"Aetherflow - on scholar only replanish mana and increase amount healing you do for 12 seconds

Summoners gain some new damage over time effects.
Scholars - lose energy drain and bane. but gain low level heal over time effect like "Regan" but stronger costs "Aetherflow to use" and ability allows them spread that their heal over time effects nearby allies
Summoners - keep energy drain in their kit. this as well as bane
Scholars can be healers at level 1
Summoners also at lvl1 job
Scholars - lose majority of their damage spells. but gain a-lot of heal over time effects watch have same cast times as bio, maisma.bio II ect . you will have some damage effects. so you can solo but won't be like it will now

Break it down to you slowly
Scholars - will deal with "Hot" management
Summoners - will deal with "Dot" Management



4. major lore change to the summoner job and game itself. so people dont scream but the lore



5. expect alot of unexpected changes . their gonna be a-lot ppl who liked old scholar/summoner upset and whining. would you have start over if you have lvl60 summoner/scholar. now. no what will happen is when they remove/remak. you still have 60 level on both just be two different jobs

Yoshida already said they're not planning on removing the base classes right now, and if they do it will be after 5.0

Please don't label your topic titles "confirmed" when you're just lying and making things up, and yes that's all you're doing.

All of those stuff is a garbage, NEXT!

Classes aren't being removed in 4.0. Research.

If you are the only one talking about something as big as "getting rid of the base classes" on the official forums, you might want to recheck your sources. Please provide them if they exist.

Removing classes probably would involve having the 30 job quest permanently rename your class, so the class and job aren't like separate things anymore. Arcanist gets renamed to summoner at 30 after you do the 30 job quest, and then there's no going back. Scholar could become a job sort of like DRK, AST and MCH. They could still gate SCH behind level 30 arcanist if they wish.

Wait, they're being removed? I thought they were just not going to do classes anymore from HW onwards, what will become of the Conjurer guild?

Nice clickbait.

Nothing. The thread title and its contents are a lie made up by someone with a very poor grasp on reality.
