Job Vision: Watch paint dry

[Korpg]

It's called Hastega and you get it with EVERY SJ ^^

Unintended victim of a woosh.

Don't worry, your death will not be in vain!

Uhm... It said "example" not "We promise to do this".

Do you really think they're just making stuff up with no intention of actually doing it? Did you know that many of these abilities/spells already have animations in the DAT files as of the most recent update?

I'd also like to remind you that they said 2006 that we are going to get new avatars that we can keep out LONGER than our current ones.

This is a result of funny story telling and the telephone game. They NEVER said this. They said we were getting 2 new avatars, and that they wanted us to be able to keep our summons out more. Two seperate things, and both of them were achieved. They said NOTHING about the new avatars specifically being the ones we'd summon longer.

They used the word "example" to say that the exact changes are not set in stone, e.g. they could change. I won't blame you for being skeptical, as SMN tends to get the short end of the stick, but these changes are backed up by new data in the data files.

Finally, to reinforce this further, they would not name SPECIFIC avatars if they were not going to implement them.

They did it before, and it ony took them 3 years to give out 2 new avatars. Sure rng woulda like to have gotten the -emnity for range attacks then they said "made you look" on the day of the update. I don't even play snm could care less but you have to take what ever SE says they going to do with a grain of salt. Till its in the game I won't bank on anything.

This was also in that announcement in bright red writing. Not saying it won't happen, just pointing out that even SE is saying it isn't written in stone. I hope that they do implement the changes they *envisioned,* not only as a SMN, but as every other job I play.

If you feel that playing Summoner is like watching paint dry

[size=6]STOP PLAYING SUMMONER[/size]

because clearly it is not the job for you.

I wouldn't mind it if the avatars would have the same abilities and traits as the Summoner.

Like, if you sub WAR, the avatar would get double attack and such. Stuff like that would make any melee SMN happy.

Plus, it would make subbing BLM viable, because of MAB attached to it.

Having Divine Seal and using Healing Ruby II would be outstanding.

Hasso would make Ramuh that much more potent (assuming that they allow that, that is).

Also, while we are at it, lets include gear stats to the avatar too. Having avatars with 22% haste would help with their DoT a lot. Why, even Dallas would approve of that.

That's all kind of a game changer for SMN, completely changing what gear you would use. Not that they couldn't fix that in future updates, but 1~90 would be lol.

Considering the alternative (Pet: +Stat gear) comes into play relatively late in the leveling process, it might not be as bad, I'd think.

Maybe a JT then, even still it would change a lot. I can't say if it would be a bad thing, just that it would take a lot of SMN gear in the complete opposite direction.

It depends on the player to be honest.

For soloist, it wouldn't change a thing. For lolmelee SMN, it might actually be great for them.

For SMN only players, would help them out tremendously.
