Job Manifesto discussion RE: Summoner

Pacts hitting whole alliances would have been nice. Sadly CORs and BRDs would complain too much.

When their buffs cost large chunks of MP then they can complain about us lol. That being said, I can't imagine trying to line up 17 people for haste, and retaining much of my sanity for long.

The solution to this is simple: Make the BP ward range larger. Zone-wide should be enough *grins all evil like*

Thay would be hilarious, we could randomly sit in an area freaking people out by spamming glittering ruby.

I still wish SE had given SMN the ability to summon people in party to their location. Shame they took that idea and made a new armor out of it to give as rewards. Reverse D2 sounded like such a funny ability to gain "popularity" with the job. "Need to have 1 SMN with us to refill our ally!" would be the saying for all parties.

Well, you can't really summon them until they are in the same region so not that amazing. But apparently amazing enough for SE to give it a long recast instead of just some 150 MP + 20 seconds casting time.

While some fine tuning is still being performed, the stats for abilities to be introduced in the upcoming version update have been pretty solidified, so here is some follow up information.

---

Carbuncle: Soothing Ruby (Lv. 94)
Removes multiple status ailments from party members within area of effect.

---

Depending on the level of your summoning magic skill, the number of status ailments removed will vary.

Currently the below is planned:

　 1-100：1
101-200：2
201-300：3
301-400：4
401-500：5
501~　 : 6 (Imagining this to be the cap for the future)

Ramuh: Shock Squall (Lv. 92)
Temporarily prevents all enemies within area of effect from acting.

---

We are planning to set the enmity generated by this to be high.
We are also planning to make the effect duration have a certain range, but we are making adjustments to make it roughly double that of the magic spell “Stun.”

One more thing, please understand that Cait Sith and Atomos are planned for the future.

We will not be implementing every single bit of content planned for the future in the upcoming version update. We’d like to get a wide variety of feedback for all the types of information we bring you, whether they be solidified plans to be implemented immediately, plans only at the discussion phase, or things way out in the future, so we will try our best to give you a lot of information about future content.

A moment there you had me at "removing ailments generates a ton of hate", but it is obviously the stunga ability you meant to quote. No party hitting pact generates any enmity.

Will the other wards get similar scaling adjustments? I'd really like to see for example phalanx scale instead of being -15 damage all levels.

Holy crap, that just made the already best DD in Voidwatch even more valuable.

All those NMs that cast every single AoE debuff in the game, say hello to Carbuncle.
