Any Word on Leviathan Egi?

SOmeone please say yes. I am getting a bit tired of Garuda and Ifrit.

Not until a level cap raise.

Seriously? Odin I will let slide on not getting an Egi from him, He is an Elder Primal and thus probably not bound by the same rules as regular Primals for Egi's. However, it is stated in the damn SMN Quests that all you have to do is defeat a Primal and you are able to go to a place strong in the corresponding Aether of Said Primal to get an Egi. Beating Leviathan but not being able to get a Quest to summon its Egi is not freakin fair at all.

If they add a new ability for SMN, then they have to add new abilities for everyone, so that is why they are waiting until the level cap increases.

if they add a new move to summoner, they have to add a new move to ALL classes, meaning they would have to raise the level cap.

that is going to happen during the first major expansion. "please look forward to it."

Not expected until Level Cap raise, possible for next expansion.

Brought up in the Live feed, they don't want to just add to Summoner as its unfair to the others. They said maybe for the expansion which they are currently working on. May get a Level cap raise then as well.

Level cap raise will introduce new summons which is first expansion that they have started working on apparently. They don't want to give just summoners new spells.

just because you have to beat the fight to unlock the egi, you still dont unlock each fight until specific lv requirments/quests, so what made you think you would just get another one added, without having to do another lv quest?

You beat Ifrit through a story quest at level 20, and you get his Egi through a class quest at level 30.

You beat Titan through a story quest at level 34, and you get his Egi through a class quest at level 35.

You beat Garuda through a story quest at level 44, and you get her Egi through a class quest at level 45.

You will beat Leviathan through a story quest at level 50, and you will get its Egi through a class quest at a level higher than 50.

Nothing unexpected or out of the ordinary here. What would be weird is getting the Egi at the same level you beat the fight at.

Thats just not a summoner, please SE change its job name...
3 Egis out of 6 Primals (Not Counting Odin and Mogry), seriously SE: Remodel Summoner or change its Jobname, please!

Whilst I understand the reasoning that SMNs shouldn't get a new skill if the other jobs don't it's not quite that cut and dry. The SMN can only ever have one egi summoned and they do not change on the fly (typically). If anything getting a new egi like Leviathan at 55 to use INSTEAD of another when all the other jobs get a new skill to use in ADDITION to their others would be unfair on the SMNs...

Maybe I would feel different if they bothered to balance them so we have more reason to use anything other than Garuda...

Yeah they added some nonsense excuse that they couldn't do it without raising the cap and giving everyone else something too, even though in XI they did it all the time giving SMN new summons.

Because in XI, every class (even the melee!) got a new skill every 1-2 levels, instead of every 15. Amirite?

Sorry, different setup here. Every class in this game has the same # of skills. In XI, that wasn't true, so they were free to add whatever whenever.

More reason for us not to get Leviathan-egi in 2.2 in my opinion. I'd rather they not rush it out and balance it terribly...

Also, Titan-egi is plenty useful. All Ifrit-egi needs is the animation delay to be fixed and Crimson Cyclone to be changed to a dash attack rather than Stun. Then he is the best for short term burst damage, Garuda-egi is best for long term dot, and Titan-egi is best for solo/tanking.

I'm honestly more interested in knowing what role Leviathan-egi would fill, rather than when we'll be getting him... I'm guessing Healer support; a combined Regen ability (regens HP/MP/TP) and an ability that boosts healing potency, and two direct damage abilities. Then he is useful for any situation where healing is vital, though not completely losing DPS value. Ramuh-egi I imagine to be a DPS support with similar abilities (useful for DPS checks like heart phase) and Shiva-egi an enfeebler.
