Job rework: SMN -> VNM

With the state of SMN in this expansion, I think it's time to revisit the class and bring forth its true potential. With that in mind, I propose that the job should be called Venomancer (VNM).

Along with the name change, some spells will need adjustments as well:

• Egis are useless, so we'll transform them into Egi-poisons (to contribute to the Job Fantasy)
• Ifrit -> Inflammation
• Garuda -> Feeling Under the Weather
• Titan -> Minor Inconvenience
• Egi Assault I-II will be called Poison Assault I-II and will deal 50 potency damage if any of these 3 Egi-poisons are applied
• No changes to Festeruins/Bio/Miasma/Fester since they contribute to the Job Fantasy, the more dots you have on the target, the more damage you do
• DB and DP will be changed into Poison Cloud (PC) and Aetheroactive Cloud (AC), they are basically the same (same potencies and all), but they contribute to Job Fantasy
• Entering into a trance for summoning these clouds will have you drinking poison flasks and eating amanita mushrooms
• Enkindle PC will be called Green Rose, Enkindle AC will be called Black Rose
• PC and AC will be better than DB and DP, because they'll attack with a huge range and they'll stay in place, meaning they won't waste time moving
• No changes to Physick, since you're poisoning stuff, you shouldn't be healing them

And here is a mockup of the official art:

10/10 post, I endorse this rework!

Better than 100% of the suggestions on this board. That's not a high bar to clear, however.

p.s you forgot the Best spell to use

"Burning Sensation When You Pee"

Sounds great. Then they can give us a proper Summoner :D

Venomancer? I thought this was FF14. Not Perfect World International.

10/10 better than current summoner.

All Miasma and Ruin sound effects will be replaced with fart noises. Randomized to help maintain job fantasy

SE: It'd probably be pretty hard to turn SMN into something the playerbase would like.

Playerbase: Actually it'd be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

That's a very angry looking green cloud.

Venomancer triggers the lactose intelorance of opponents.
