Current progress on Summoner development

They wanted us to use our Avatars depending on the situation, yet all of the Avatars are Black Mages.

Differentiate. Our. Pets.

Shiva and Ramuh > Higher Magic attack and Magic Accuracy. Lower defense and attack. Make them better at attacking with magic.
Garuda > Higher attack speed, higher critical attack chance, higher evasion. Lower defense and overall attack. Obviously a Thief.
Ifrit > Higher attack, Double attack. Slower attack speed. Avarage defense. The best at attacking physically.
Titan > Higher defense and magic defense. Low attack and attack speed. Best at straight defense.
Leviathan > Higher Magic accuracy, Avarage Attack, Magic attack and Magic Defense. Make it somewhat of a Red Mage, capable of supporting the party with cures, enfeebling the enemy and attacking it.
Carbuncle > Higher Magic defense. Lower defense and attack. Enhance its cure/support abilities to make it a good White Mage pet.
Fenrir > Higher Magic Accuracy, Magic evasion. Ehnance its enfeebling effects that come with BP and/or add more.
Diabolos > Higher Magic Defense, Higher Magic accuracy. Make it the king of magic protection and darkness based attacks/sleeps.

There, fixed it. That way we can use different pets based on the situation, we can still manage to fill different roles AND do it using Avatars instead of our subjob.

Cool, ideas. But at this point in the game, I think they are taking all of the good ideas in FF11 and adding them to FF14 and leaving the bad out.
