New avatar is cool and all but, is anyone kind of underwhelmed by her move set?
Single target dispel: already had this with Fenrir, Diabolos and Atomos.
Single target slow: already had AoE slow with Leviathan. (Yeah you can stack slow and elegy but are we really gonna swap out Levi and siren and use 2 wards for a slow effect?)
AoE silence: already somewhat had this with cait sith.
AoE aquaveil: when was the last time anyone used aquaveil?
AoE enaero: hopefully enaero II, might be situationally useful.
Tornado II: Ok? Is it better than wind blade?
Astral flow: just AoE wind damage, is it better than aerial blast? If so, what is the point in having them both? This should have been something else like AoE lullaby + kaustra/helix effect that doesn’t break the sleep. (I mean siren without a lullaby? Come on guys...)
The only moves that look potentially interesting are the AoE magic shield which I am assuming is just a magic only stoneskin (hopefully with higher potency than Titan’s earthen ward) and the threefold attack + hp drain which could be better than garuda or Levi’s self healing in situations where only the pet is taking damage since you aren’t wasting mp and uptime on an AoE ward pact just to heal themself.
Haven’t had time to log in yet to unlock her and play with the moves so maybe they’re really potent or something. But based on the patch notes it seems like siren isn’t really bringing much to the table. Anyone had time to do any tests with her yet?
Side note: was really hoping we’d get an update to our merit categories like other jobs. Make the 75 blood pacts naturally gained and maxed out already and give us something new in their place.
