Merton Vs Odin: What the hell SE?

[SpankWustler]

Septimus, I would like to marry that post and make babies with it. Except, I think the physical process of me making babies with it would really gross you out. So I guess I won't!

Also, angry hoard of angry Summoners, you can console yourselves with the knowledge that Brave is very likely to be awful if Adloqium is any indication of how powerful some dude at SE thinks a Regain spell is.

I mean that thing that people are going to be upset that they ignored if/when their Empyrean upgrade items come from it after the next update. What amuses me about this forum is that you have so many people who moan that Abyssea is "easy-mode", when something that is extremely challenging like Voidwatch comes along they completely ignore it. Yes, the rewards are garbage, but it exactly what people on these forums say that they want: all jobs are needed, you cannot low man it, and it is very, very hard. People here say that they want an old-school challenge, well here it is complete with the terrible rewards that those of us who have done HNMs for years are used to.

Quoted for truth.

Okay look, I don't want people getting the wrong idea. In no way, shape, or form do I not want Scholar to have this spell. I play Scholar. I like Scholar. I think Scholar should have the spell. I want Brave to be awesome. I am not whining because someone took away what you think I perceive as SMN's toy.

No, I'm just simply saying that Odin, while a very nice concept, needs to be fixed. And please don't give me that "Well you have Alex so you don't get to complain." Alex is a very nice toy, but also situational. Odin rarely has any situation in which he is useful. Bosses? You'd be better off burning MP on Garuda. Crowd control? Shiva, even though she is pretty weak in that. I can't think of a situation outside of some parts of Abyssea where Odin even sees play. This is Odin we're talking about. He should be badass.

We SMN have gotten a lot over the last year, yes, but we are also quite a bit behind other jobs. No, I do not ant SMN to be overbuffed because it is my favorite job. No, I don't want SMN to be able to do everything. Those are strawman arguments. I just want SMN to at least be a little bit better. Odin isn't even half as good as what this new spell appears to do. What's wrong with scaling Odin's accuracy with both MP and SMN Skill?

The point here is this. For all of you complaining about my request, how does it harm you? How does fixing this create a problem for you? If it doesn't, then stop talking and go elsewhere.

I agree with Tarage, his post did not show any threat to SCH, hes just asking SE to take another look at Odin, I dunno how else you can lay this out in text.

I think a lot of people take a form of text way differently.

Hes asking SE......

Some people are adding fuel to the fire in this thread the wrong way while its really not necessary, but hey not everybody's gonna have the same opinion and get along.....

Your idea could be far better expressed by leaving commentary about Merton, Fire II, Paralyna, Water Shot, Hide and all other irrelevant information out of your post.

You say Odin blows like a wind tunnel while simultaneously sucking hard enough to pull a prize watermelon through a crazy straw. I agree with you. Most folks do.

Mentioning concepts not related to the themes of "Odin", "suck", or "blow" just obscures the idea you're trying to convey.

The fact is SE will read his feedback, and consider it.

The better part is....its SE choice on weather to do something or not.

I hope so. Odin needs to be re-examined if he is intended to be on par with Alexander.

I'm just pointing out that he communicated his idea very poorly and that's why the responses came out like this.

I don't even care about Scholar or Summoner, and just decided to post because the title of the thread was so ridiculous.

I don't disagree with you on that, the title is a bit false.

Sometimes leaving it as is better than change.

[Tarage]

The title is pointing out the inconsistent levels of potency in what appears to be a 2-hour spell.
