Garlemald zone, they have the technology.

Really looking forward to those changes for MNK but I am going to have to re-learn muscle memory now. I feel Monk has a flow, it might be a clunky flow, but it's there. I really want to see how the added layer affects it.

Twin Snakes and True Strike being position agnostic is a really nice touch too. Kinda worried about the pseudo-mudra style combos to unlock attacks as it feels a bit Samurai-esque in design and I cannot get on with SAM.

It differs from NIN SAM DNC at least a little bit in that you can use the same action more than once in your Blitz sequence. NIN outright breaks if you double a Mudra, and SAM and DNC get no benefit from doubling a Sen or Step.

Glad they added Geomancer to the game, just a shame they had to kill SMN to do it.

I'm not impressed by shiny things and SMN's changes only upset me.
*Removing DoTs is the first slap in the face.
*Now SMN is a stance dancing job like Bard instead of it's own unique job.
*Not even sure if Egis are even useful anymore or just a place holder for Bahamut and Phoenix.
*Still doesn't fix the key issues like Demi ghosting abilities.
*Couldn't even be bother to add Leviathan, Shiva, or Ramuh stances.
*Remove all the shiny Primal animation, you basically switch stances to cast different elemental spells i.e. Geomancer.

True, I assume Leaden Fist application going into Perfect Balance management is going to be important (Unless the LF-BS gameplay is gone), as the mix-up of that rotation to make the differing combos might cause some issues keeping it up consistently while getting the right combo for Blitz. (IE I've been silly and just finished a Leaden Bootshine rotation, start my PB and don't have the Leaden buff at the start but need to do another bootshine for a combo instead of Dragon Kick) So I guess it's more plates to juggle to keep that and twin snakes going while actually getting the Balance charges.

Oof, got me, I completely missed that!

As for Shotgun I realized... Flamethrower is the second weakest AoE, if Shotgun is a stronger Spreadshot and gives double heat, Flamethrower could be the weakest AoE and therefore never used.
Which means it has a chance to be an actual CD.

I...don't care about any of these things.

* DoTs were never in the flavor of SMN and a terrible vestige of the class system.
* Call them stances, phases, whatever, many jobs have them. It's definitely not like BRD presently, given that its stances are purely offensive rather than support.
* Egis have been a placeholder for Bahamut and Phoenix since demi-Phoenix.
* It does fix the issues of egi ghosting, which was the bigger problem.
* I think Leviathan, Shiva, and Ramuh are of a different class of primals that don't feel as natural to Summoner as the original three. Shiva is a full-blown character, Ramuh is like a secondary character, and Leviathan is some primordial beast. They do not fit the flavor of XIV SMN for me and I am quite glad to continue without them. Plus, in a game where elements are totally non-functional, I like that SMN has its own distinct elemental palette instead of having the same generic "all six" elements.
* I wanted geomancer in the game, but frankly you are right that SMN is pretty much covering it, and doing it wayyyyy better. I no longer need or want a geomancer job now that I have my primal gems.

At this point, I wouldn't mind single spell references to Shiva or Leviathan, but I would rather we see the introduction of Griever or Madeen (or maybe Diablos) for a big 'splosion attack. Beyond that, I am totally content with Summoner's kit. It is aesthetic af, everything feeling very...primal.
