That was a misunderstanding on my part. Thanks for the clarification.

As example, we’d like to boost the effects by having summoning skill and level play a larger role.

Once the plans have been solidified a bit more I’ll be sure to let you know!

Super pleased to hear SMN skill will play a level in the revamps, and that all BP:Ward are being looked into...

I've given it some thought a while back, I hope this helps, at least a little.

So.. will Leviathan get Slowga II before Garuda receives Hastega II?

It's clear the dev team is working on job adjustments and balance across the board. It's just a matter of how much they can test and push out along with content to keep players interested in playing. I'm really excited to hear about SMN adjustments, it's a job I'm interested in leveling all the way through.

Side note - - I think Blue Mage is also getting Haste II. Or whatever Erratic Flutter will be..

Judging by the way BLU gets spells, probably haste 1.5, since blu had to use haste 0.66 (refueling) for years before animating wail was finally added.

I think Erratic Flutter has been shown to be 30% Haste, same as Haste II. I could be mixing up my reading thugh.

I have a bit more news to share for all of you summoners. :)

Did your party initiate a straddle formation for a large boss and your Blood Pacts just don’t reach everyone in the party? Well, the development team understands your woes, and they would like to make a slight increase to the range of support-type Blood Pacts to compensate for this.

Stay tuned for more details regarding the implementation timing and the specifics!

they are on the test server where they make up things like bst, smn, pup, drg, rdm, blu and the like being sought after for end-game content. you can't miss it, the place looks like the landscape in SugarRush from the movie Wreck It Ralph.
