[dev1010] Spirits

[Alhanelem]

We are at yet another job adjustments but no sight of spirits adjustments. When are they coming?

Hopefully never. They serve the purposes they currently serve just fine and dont' need any other puprose.

I don't understand the big attachement to spirits. Avatars are supposed to be the mainstay of the job. Why do we want spirits to be so good? They have a certain amount of utility already and they're fine the way they are-

1) They cast quickly and as such can be used to lose aggro that is attacking you.
2) elemental siphon, self explanatory
3) light spirit's buffs are superior to your own with any subjob and can be handy if you really need them. Also the unique ability to cast curaga spells on other parties in an alliance.
4) As they're still locked to tier IV, there's some chance you can use them for yellow proc.

Forget the bleepin' spirits and give summoner buffs where it really needs them- like the cap on BP delay - or the resist rate of avatar enfeebling effects.

This was explained by another and I in this thread or possible another thread that...

The chances of this being successful is slim to none because if you smn a spirit just to get the mob off you....you are going to have serious hate issues for the rest of the fight.

I will welcome an adjustment to spirits however its not the end of the world that we don't get an adjustment to our spirits......we have our avatars that's our job and what makes a summoner a summoner.

Not really.

Times that you don't have an avatar up and you get aggro for whatever reason, that is a good enough reason to summon a spirit to GTFO of there.

Besides, you will be surprised by how much hate a SMN holds. Or has towards any mob.
