New SMN JA "Possession" Empowering the "Melee SMN"

[Leonlionheart]

I was joking, I wouldn't actually expect him to do one for me lol.

But you're right he does do great work.

Thinking about it in terms of business, if everyone sported one of his sig's, it would give his posts publicity!

Then SE would be like "Woah this guy has the playerbase behind him, we should look at his posts seriously!"

[kingfury]

Make me one and I promise I'll follow you around and {Like!} all your posts.XD

^^; lol No Mandatory thread following would be necessary Raz. Just post a description and some image links of your character and set the image oven to 350º and wait to see what emerges!

Well, I wouldn't go that far lol, but at least there would be lots of colorful Sigs dancing around the forum ^^

Sweet, thanks I'll take some screenshots when I log in and post them. Do you need anything in particular in relation to the pics?

[kingfury]

Character face type, and the gear you'd like to see on your character helps.

[kingfury]

I'm not terribly keen on this idea, but DUDE! do drawings of all the avatars possessing the tarutaru! The Fenrir one rocks, and i really liked the close-up on the face of the taru. I'd love to see more! + cool sig btw.

Added to the OP

•Possible Avatar Possession characteristics

[Alhanelem]

Now that is just scary.

(Yes I know it's way back)
I'm offended by your signature. "Real Summoners" play the job however they dang well please. Real Summoners also don't all wear wind staves and only use garuda.

Real Summoners are those who know how to utilize every square inch of what their job can do (even though no matter what they do, they still don't get respected for anything other than niche purposes or anything that is made beatable by Perfect Defense).

Stop kidding yourself into thinking because a couple of people were involved in a 2000 post thread about meleeing on SMN, that they don't know how to do anything else with the job.

Anyway, The OP idea is somewhat interesting in theory, but people are too set in their minds to realize that things can be adjusted and tweaked. Things like "Avatars are all BLMs" in particular- They could change the avatar's base jobs in accordance with their style (Mostly going by appearance, Ifrit would be a WAR, garuda a THF, etc)

It would certainly fun to "be" the avatar, sort of like in Final Fantasy XIII. But it would be to radical of a departure from the job's design as a pet job.

Well, if you're using a blood bact rage... why wouldn't you use the one that deals the most damage?

Melee is not utilizing every square inch of SMN, its effectively hurting the party, rather than staying back.

Just because there is a picture of garuda in his sig, doesn't mean that's the only avatar he uses lol

[Karbuncle]

Garuda was always the most consistently powerful, But I've seen ifrit and Ramuh peak higher numbers. Leviathan/Titan are good for consistent numbers with little variances.

I'm not missing your point though!

[Tagrineth]

Yeah, good idea, let's empower SMN Melee.

While we're at it, give my WAR some White Magic. I want my WAR to be the main healer!

And I'd love for my Bard to be able to cast Black Magic. It's so boring just standing around singing songs! I should be able to nuke for at least 2000 damage in Abyssea, since bard can't really do damage any other way.

Oh and please please give my Paladin the ability to Charm, that would let me tank while my pet DDs! How cool would that be?

Oh oh and my BLM needs a few Defense Bonus traits. I mean I can gain so much hate, I should be able to tank too!
