New Avatars Are Coming

[Karbuncle]

Just as i suspected!

Have to consider the positives of Atomos too, If he does what he does during the BCNM (Drains Enemies stats to 1, and gives them to player) then it would be quite more useful than people expect.

Lowering an NMs/HNMs Stats to 1 and giving that ~80+ stat to players in range would give Abyssea-level Stat boost while nerfing the mob. Could be quite powerful when used properly.

Actually quite excited about Cait Sith being a "walk around" pet.

Hey all! Got a bit of information from the development team about the new avatars that are incoming in a future version update.

While we don't have too many specifics to share because things are still in the planning stages, the current plan is to make Cait Sith an avatar similar to the likes of Carbuncle, where you can go into battle with Cait Sith at your side. Atomos on the other hand would be similar to Odin and Alexander in that he is used solely for his 2 hour ability.

Thanks for the update Camate! Many people were curious to hear how these two would be implemented.

I'm very happy to have Cait Sith fight beside me. We grew quite close during the WotG Missions And she is too cute!

Atomos as a 2hr avatar was expected. I just hope that his move is quite powerful and usable on NM/HNMs. I doubt we will be able to lower HNM stats to 1, but they should be lowered by at least half I think. It would also be a nice touch if the absorbed stats were split between party members in range.

I don't know if that is too difficult to do of course, but it would give SMNs another alternative in zerg type situations besides just Alexander. We use Alexander when the party is capable of doing damage, but not surviving the foes attacks. Atomos would be the opposite. The party needs to lower the NMs stats (and raise their own) in order to do enough damage. Odin is a bit trickier. I almost never use him now, so I'm not sure where he really shines. (Shiva is better for group damage in Abyssea and he apparently is resisted by a lot of NM's ;^^)

And if possible, could I make one request? Could Odin, Alex and Atomos have strong Resist traits, similar to Diabolos' Resist Sleep? It would be quite sad to summon our ultimate avatars, only to have a mob cast Sleepga as they ready their move.

While I'm honestly against what I'm going to say, it would be kind of fitting if Cait Sith's 2 hour actually was to summon Atomos.

I'll take it.

Atomos seems like he would have been a weird one to have following you around anyway.

To be honest, I thought that is what they were going to do too. It will be fun to think up a new 2hr for Cait Sith though.

Iono, Level ??? Holy seems like an appropriate 2 hour for a light based avatar. Moderate to Heavy AoE light magical damage.

time to exp smn *_*

urge to have Caith Sith raising...

So was Laser shower, but SE thought perfect defense was a better idea. Probably because doing damage would be a bit silly as an option to Odins death/damage move.

If you were allowed to pick any 2 hour for Cait sith though, I'd go with something that involves all 9 in some bizarre animation of a cat fight.

Honestly, I'm surprised SMN isn't getting Ixion as well. Unless they explained him in WotG's storyline, which I need to finish, he seem seems like a loose end.

[Tarage]

Thank you. As much as I love Carbuncle, he was always designed to be a weak avatar, and we haven't had a good light avatar. This fixes one of my biggest complaints.
