Summoning Magic Gear

[Alhanelem]

They didn't make it a flat 60 seconds, as otherwise all the smn mules that everyone took to do ADL would never even have to buy/earn a single spirit/avatar since 0 skill would give them 60 sec. I'd have settled for 500 skill cap for 60 sec though as then a SMN would at least need to skill up/buy gear to hit cap.

uh, so what? they're already reducing the max duration by 30 seconds. It's still modified by remaining MP. It shouldn't be based on summon skill at all.

End of the day, Perfect Defense is another Blood Pact: Ward. Granted, you need to pop Astral Flow to use it, but like the majority of Blood Pact: Wards it has a Skill : Duration ratio. SE just made it so you had to keep on top of your gear to make it as good as possible unlike the rest which capped out at 500 skill. Granted you can't cap it now, but you couldn't cap most enhancing spells etc at 75 either.

With SE adding what they like to think is the equivalent of Lv.120 gear and us being 55 off the PD cap at the moment (53 if you could Aptus Earring, but that thing is annoying as hell to get), who's to say they won't add multiple pieces of gear with 20 Summoning skill for instance? Maybe part of the new Grip?

Sooooooo, this doesnt mean they may be adding more skill gear in the future to obtain 600 summoning skill at some point?

The same way we were supposed to get Cait Sith?

Cheap, shot, I know...

But seriously? I'm willing to give them a bit of leeway here - to see what these grips are going to be like, and all. However, ultimately, at this point? All the pretty promises in the world mean nothing until they get implemented.

First, there is a question about the cap on summoning skill being 600 being a mistake; however, this is the correct number. While it might not be currently possible to reach this number, the development team set the cap to 600, so consider that there may be room to increase this in the future.

No it doesn't. Not really. May does not translate to will. Even if it did say there will be room to increase this in the future, it wouldn't mean that they would do it, just that it is possible.

But you guys are sayin they wont (think some posts above said SE said they wouldnt, been a while since i read the thread) and im sayin dont rule it out lol.

I said may in my post not will, but go ahead and take it like i said will (not trying to be an ass here). And yea i know the whole Pet: treasure hunter debacle where they said they would possibly add it later then denied even sayin that.

Cait sith isnt a cheap shot at all towards me lol i dont work for SE. Cait is comin tho, i know i know been a long time but it is, I am with you i want them new avatars too.
