New Avatars Are Coming

You are screwed, that's my point. Take that BLM!

We should already know some of the moves that these avatars will have (presuming they have actual BPs and aren't 2h only). Diabolos Prime from PM3-5 used all the moves that the actual avatar got later on. Since we've fought both the new avatars in WotG, this means:

Atomos
Soul Vacuum - AoE All Status Down
Soul Infusion - Passes debuffed stats from Vacuum to the summoner

Cait Sith
Regal Scratch - Single target damage (suspected low level BP move)
Divine Favor - Full erase and -na
Mewing Lullaby - AoE Sleep and TP reset (to 0)
Eerie Eye - Gaze amnesia and silence
Level ? Holy - Random dice roll (1~6) damage (possible 2hr move?)

This would mean Atomos has really little in terms of moves but could advocate the 'melee smn' playstyle which has persisted. Assuming Cait Sith has the normal number of BP moves (roughly 8 + 2hr) this means there will be 4 more BPs which we don't know about.

Unless, however, you kept healing it. Which, by the sounds of it, you were doing.

Never healed it, but of course we were two SMNs so the other one could have screwed up any amount of times and everyone else would still have only read "Garuda healed Glavoid for X HP".

So one could understand them, but at the same time it sucks that they think I don't know how to play my job even when I tell them not to worry because I know what I'm doing.

Besides, it also sounds like you were there just to hold a pop set. I mean, why else would they bring a SMN to Glavoid in the first place?

To the first part, I did have a pop set, so it could be that way. To the latter part, a Summoner who knows how to play the job is an excellent addition to Glavoid. (Or at least better than DNC or SCH which are my other jobs)

Cait Sith was introduced in the cutscenes having a disembodied metallic voice, before having a name, so I assumed they were a form of automaton. (They were even numbered)

cait sith was an automaton, in FF7 anyway

the Cait Sith are born from Altana's tears.. they're divine, to say the least...

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.
