I can also see Dreadwyrm Aether going away... I think it's a bad design to have a mechanic - especially one that is displayed in the job gauge - completely negated by a lv72 trait.
If it would stay as it is, the most elegant thing to do is to have that level 72 trait straightforward saying "You don't need Dreadwyrm Aether to summon Bahamut anymore" and taking that element out of the gauge.

05-22-2021, 11:20 PMDyvidWhen Yoshi-P says "Currently summoner as a job is reaching somewhat of a breaking point when it comes to the overall play mechanics" I believe he is referring to the overall job, not just Egi's or Demi's. Though it may work for right now, it is expected they are going to add something new in 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and so on. I honestly expect them to drop aetherflow on SMN and replace it with timed charges for Fester and Painflare. DoT may be on the chopping block as well. Trance/Demi will be the pace setter though exact time is unclear but I would guess it'll be between 45s and 60s, depends on how long the rotation is going to be.Quote:

As for one Egi, though possible it seems like a step backwards from were we are today; two egis' with a clear distinction as to what situation to use them on, something that has been need since 2013 in my opinion. Further more doing a one Egi system would be a reason to have new Egi Glamour ready by 6.0, not put it on hold. I've made feedback on this years back, that it would require the devs to decide which Egi they want to be Range and which is Melee. For example: aside from Enkindle, Pre 5.0 Titan was ready to place into Melee Glamour because Ifrit and Titan had very similar attack animations. Ramuh Egi is very close to being able to add to Range Glamour by adding an Electric AoE zone and Enkindle design.
Reality is we are just guessing at this point and won't know anything until the media tour and 6.0 comes out. Even job action trailer doesn't tell the whole story. Guess I'll see you in 5 months to discuss this again lol.
