You are funny, you know that, right? Here is another way to not get hit by magic while soloing: Don't stand next to the avatar. Saved you a wasted BP.

and idk why people dislike 2hour avatars. its better then nothing and they have their uses (alex for AV and odin for burns)

You hit the nail on the head there bucko. They have uses, but very limited uses at that.

Odds are she will cost the same as Diabolos, which isn't that much. Fenrir and Carbuncle are the exceptions to the rule. As long as Caitsith follows the same pattern as the other avatars she will be a welcome addition to the fold. I've been looking forward to a strong light avatar for years.

These are a few of the ideas I had on a Siren summon...

Siren draws people to their dooms. Siren conceals its hideous true form with the appearance of a young, barely clothed entity who sings a beautiful song. This cloak of deception draws upon each hearer's own desires, so its appearance is actually different to each race and gender. The true form of Siren is like an orobon with massive jaws, but very low mobility.
(Terrestrial Avatar version of an Orobon)

Basic abilities (but not all):

2 Hour Rage: Siren Song
Draws enemies in, they stop attacking while "Charmed", and it deals a strong damage over time effect, ending with Siren's "Jaws of the Maelstrom" attack.

Siren's Revelation
When foes see the true source of the siren's song, it causes them to attack each other and themselves. (Confusion)

Hypnotic Lure
Puts enemies to sleep, high enmity.

Cloak of Deception
Share in the deceptive power of the Siren to sneak past enemies.
Grants Sneak/Invisible/Deodorize to the party.

Kiss of Death
Chance to inflict countdown-doom or a strong poison.

Able to cast Silence and Silencega... and Mute.

100% innate triple attack.

Siren could be encountered while on a boat while heading to another continent.
While I'd like this to be a summon, I could see it simply being an NM somewhere, like Dark Ixion, but... really... summon!

We're already getting two new avatars. Don't get greedy.

Please SE: Implement the three AI fixes. It would go miles to fixing this job. Make some form of Stay command, get rid of the distance limit on being able to use the assault command, and fix the 'If the mob dies mid BP, the timer doesn't reset' problem.

Yeah, the 3 things you think is wrong with SMN now, which only 1 is a true problem.

Mewing Lullaby Vs Eerie Eye

Any thoughts on this vs HNMs?

Not really greedy when Siren is the only additional avatar you ever really wanted. It is just SE that forgot to add it to the story and game all this time, and probably because they wanted to use less common avatars (like garuda).

i want Doom train.

Who could not want Doom Train?

Haha oh man, Doomtrain was probably one of my favorite summons from FFVIII because it was just so silly. I fully support implementing Doomtrain, even more so if he (..it?) is a "walking around" avatar. I don't even know how that would work, but just imagine a train guarding you as you fish.

More than likely caithsith will be a mix and match of current avatar/2 hr avatar. Meaning she'll normally do her regular avatar behaviors and her 2nd will be Atomos summons for massive AoE debuff. I think massive debuffs would be effective since I see a,ot of post about NM's resisting many spells, even when capped with gear.

Imagine Atomos debuff dropping resistance so low that the "normal" DoT and status spell become 100% against NM?
