Question for the developers: What do you have against Titan?

[Bhujerba]

you guys don't understand, SE is trying to balance the game starting with pet jobs...

















I LIED, ONLY PET JOBS WILL BE "BALANCED" .

Shiva can lay out the same numbers that a BLM Bliz V can, with excessive focus on avatar magic attack bonus.



... every 45 seconds.

So yeah, SMN didn't need fixing.

I imagine they did it however simply because it was "unintended"

i personally love titan as my main man, earthern ward and armor are both amazing skills and geocrush with earth based stun is beyond awesome, but i do think all avatars should have around the same attack power on physical blood pacts, to single our or divide them isn't right. I've stopped using garuda just for that point, everyone uses her, hell even her magian trial staff is the easiest to get compaired to the others. Like come on titan had to fight bee's and bombs and get kill shot, do you know how hard it is to get a kill shot with titan when everything wants to kill itself?

back on topic. It seems that the avatars final physical bloodpacts all do the same damage but because some are multi hit each hit counts as its own damage to exceed the others damage. If SE wants to divide the avatars so badly then give them better stats to each their own to justify it like giving titan a hefty defence and hp compaired to the rest.

Just to rub salt in our cuts they gave garuda a self heal BP:W so she can stay up for longer then most.

On the other hand she only has two physical attacks, claw and predator claws, which are at about 60 levels difference.

She also has her own useful gear, notorious damage, haste, walk speed, and blink. She's a few steps from becoming a real player compared to the others. I use ifrit in pts that have melee and mainly 1h groups tbh so i may seem biased towards an avatar that has everything but stoneskin and healing ruby II. Besides... it was the only avatar to use 15 levels ago so i suspect it will be the only one to use till 99.

[Secondplanet]

the healing ruby II thing isn't really true, she has healing wind also. They made garuda a forced staple to summoners while the other avatars are left being 3rd place, yes garuda takes both 1st and 2nd place, now thats unbalanced
