Just some random thoughts about abilitys on SMN and Avatars. While i do think current avatars such as Garuda and co neext lvl 95-99 damage pacts or actual useful pacts ( not like crimson roar...), i also think that given the fact that we are not 75 anymore Odin and Alexander need to be reconsidered even more.

This would also rule out the implemention of a new avatar for the moment if the existing ones would get more useful.

Current thoughts are

Blood Boon: Increase the activation with each merit by 2% to a total of 10% increase.

Celestial Pact: Allows to unfold the true nature of your Celestial Avatars ( aka Odin/Alexander).

While i still think Zantezuken and Perfect defense should stay 2 hour abilitys i also think that Odin and Alexander have way more uses than just as a 2hour trump card.

As stated above the Celestial Pact would have 5 upgrades as usual merits. Stage 1 enables the summon of the avatar plus the use of a typical 1 min BP. for example:

Alexander: lvl 91 Celestial Wall: SToneskin + phalanx effect to party members within range.
Odin: lvl 91 Ofnir : medium single target attack additional chance of paralyze.

each subsequent merit until its maximum would unlock 1 new Bloodpact giving the avatars a total of 6 Bloodpacts ( including 2h)

of course there are numerous BP that would make sense for both avatars from previous FF games for example

Alexander: Divine Judgment (magical attack light) heavy single target damage.

im sure there are many more possible suggestions. after all thease are just some thoughts.
