先ほどお伝えした新履行より先に「オォォォォォーーーン！」の召喚獣を追加します。
以前の投稿でお伝えしたとおり、かなりのボリュームのクエストを伴うためお待たせしておりますが、
9月のバージョンアップにて追加予定ですのでもうしばらくお待ちください。

Ah, I see it there indeed.
Malothar specifically mentioned Camate, who's post didn't mention summoner anywhere.

Just in reference to the post that he's going to make. Didn't wanna spoil too much, it's his job after all, and who doesn't just absolutely love their job? ;)

What is it that google translate is translating as "the saving grace of god beast"? I love weird autotranslates XD

Even as a BRD I am very happy to see other jobs get a boost to buffing. I really hope it increases the number of set ups that are workable and more people get to play their favourite jobs in serious content. I sure hope erratic flutter is full haste 2 - even if the duration is just like 3 mins so it isn't really great for diffusion, it would be nice as a self buff.

Anyway, I sure hope SMN can share the haste love!

That would be Avatar's favor, last post we got about avatar's favor adjustments was in back in April I found Camate's post here.

You rang? :D

While I can’t speak in too much detail about the adjustments that will be made to summoner, I’d like to give an overview on what the development team has in mind.

In the future we will be adding new Blood Pacts for avatars, one example of what they are planning to add is Hastega II. Additionally, they would like to make adjustments to Avatar’s Favor and also increase the ways that summoner can support other party members.

In terms of new avatars, the team is planning to release Atomos in the September version update.

I just wonder if we're getting those new blood pacts in July or August... or later?

Either way, thanks for the update.

rdms enjoy your utility while it lasts, it appears haste 2 will be replaced with Hastega 2 in endgame builds very quickly.

If our only utility is based on Haste II then that's a solid indication we have way bigger problems than SMN getting the AoE version of it.

So SMN can do what in one move when RDM can do in like 30 seconds. How many DDs in a typical DD party, 3? 20 second recast, but with self haste and haste gear, can get it down to a low recast plus Spontenity. Should last a good 8ish minutes with gear and Composure too. But, RDM will offer other things like eva down+grav2 which would let melees eat meat and wear less acc gear(potentially -80-100 evasion when stacked. If it's like Blind/Blind II it'll be -20/-30.

Saboteur on NM with AF3 hands is a 2.1x bonus and AF3 body+Uxkaj Feet is x1.15 so 2.25 multiplier combined. So if the base of Distract II is -30 evasion, it will be -67.5 evasion. Gravity II is -40. -107.5 evasion is monumental. DDs could drop all their acc so that they're swinging at 50% hit rate, toss on the above debuffs and their hit rate jumps from 50% to 95% cap.
