Fix Sumnmoner

You can tell he's larger simply by the fact that his spike/tail thing is practically dragging on the floor... it's usually well clear. I'm wondering if this is a general adjustment to their size or if a new 50+ trait in Heavensward might increase it.

Ifrit Egi looks like the size of a Female Roegaydn when he's floating on the grown. SE did say big changes are coming to Summoner. Existing jobs will get enough abilities to cause rotations and Summoner and Black Mage will see Big changes with their new actions.

Well according to translated Q&A from Nico Summoner has been heavily reworked for 3.0... something something Tri-Disaster. What that means? No idea lol.

I think you guys are getting what you've asked for... well at least a change, maybe not to the extent that some want though.

Nico Q&A

Summoner has been heavily reworked. Something something tri-disaster.

EDIT: looks like I wasn't fast enough :) well whatever

Maybe tri disaster will finally be something worth putting on my bars? I think I use blizz2 instead lol.

Yay we finally getting our changes!!

Wonder if they are separating sch from smn

Maybe they just made Ifrit bigger for the trailer? It would be trolling but you never know... On the other parts of the trailer Garuda and Ifrit seems to have the same size, but it is far so I'm not sure.

Possible but unlikely. Considering that last section of the trailer was clearly intended to show off some of the new skills for each job, having Ifrit resized is obviously going to lead players to draw some conclusions and get excited.

I would like to point out that it was only the SMN in AF2 gear that had the enlarged egi. It's entirely possible that SMNs will get a trait at 60 that increases the size of their pets (or hell even a buff that does it). All of the smaller egis were seen with presumably sub-60 SMNs as they were all wearing a mixture of WoD and Ironworks gear.

I was really disappointed by SMN when I started playing, but it grew on me and became my main class. Its DoT-focused gameplay is super fun and I would'nt change it for anything else.

The only tweaks I would like to see would be:

- Reduced cooldown on Enkindle
- As said earlier, make it so that Enkindle can NOT be ignored. Its cooldown is super long, and I die a little inside when I see the ability go on cooldown but nothing happens at all (saw this at least 3 times in T9 the other day).
- Make Tri-Disaster deal AOE damage (say, 50-60 potency) instead of being a Bind, or...
- Give us a Ruin III, which would be an AOE. Or make Ruin instant-cast like Ruin II, and make Ruin II the AOE, instead of having Blind as an added effect.
- Replace the effect of Ifrit's Radiant Shield to target a party member instead (this would be super useful when dealing with a lot of adds or trash mobs).
- Make Egi abilities scale with Spell Speed so the stat does not suck anymore.
- Maybe make Contagion a job ability, and give something else to Garuda so we can use Ifrit and his new Radiant Shield, and be FREE to do so.


What I don't like about the job is that our DoTs are aspected to Poison and Disease. If Bio, Bio II and Miasma were replaced by Windburn, Firebite and Sludge, that would be great. Bane would be renamed Diffusion, and Fester would become Dissonance or something like that. Or Tri-Disaster, that would make sense. Tri-Disaster would be called something else.

I think the above paragraph itself would make SMN feel and look a lot more Summoner-y.

In the trailer it looks like Tri-disaster got changes to an AoE Bursts spell
