So, I've noticed that the developers have thought of adding a Ramuh Egi and Leviathan Egi, but I guess they don't know how yet. My thoughts on a solution come from the chocobo mount, particularly, its gear. The Chocobo has three categories of gear to apply to it. So maybe one could unlock more Egi and manage them in a menu similar to the chocobo gear. They would be divided into Melee, Casting, and Tanking (as usual). Now that they could be organized, more quests would appear, allowing you to unlock more, maybe even including the summons that became dungeon bosses(Siren, Fenir, Diabolos, etc.)! And for an aesthetic touch, the hotkey icons would have a different design for each Egi. Perhaps Scholar and Arcanist could benefit, too! Like Scholar could unlock fairy king Oberon and queen Titania, and I have seen data for different colored Carbuncles, so who knows? Drop a comment (if you're interested) and thanks for reading.

Ramuh and Levi (and Shiva and Carby) will be coming from the new Egi glamour system. What would honestly be the point of new egis if players are going to migrate to one egi anyways, like Garuda is now (though higher end SMNs have found Ifrit better for FCoB)

Garuda does have certain advantages, though... but only in fights that has the boss moving a lot as well as dropping DoT debuffs every so often.

Unless we can somehow summon more than one egis... people are just going to use the optimal one.
....Summon more than one egi, now THAT'S a thought, isn't it?
Who says you could just stop at one pet? Why not summon all three of them? -

Ooh...That sounds fun.

06-18-2015, 11:11 PMSoloWingMetatronNow that's what Tri-Disaster should have been. Summon all three Egi in a triangle formation and they unleash an AoE attack that is a fusion of all three elements!Quote:

Has anyone ever played other MMOs? Warlocks in Warcraft have like 10 demons all with varying useses and SMN is a straight rip off of that class.

Possibilities are many.
An Egi superior on 5 or more mobs. Applications: the Vault, Alex2
An Egi superior on burst modes - strong oGCD on long cooldowns. Applications: Bismarck and Ravana
An Egi that helps to regen MP during moments of downtime.
There are always ways to think of situational Egis as long as we are allowed to switch pets with minimum cast time and MP cost, ie. to design SMN to a stance-dancing Job around switching pets. The devs simply chose to push SMN to another direction. -
07-09-2015, 04:34 PMBishop81There are still issues like having the pet work well with the PC - this gets more difficult the more pets you add.Quote:

It has one pet, with both PC and pet abilities build to complement each other. A true team, pet sets up the shot (with Freeze) and the PC socks it in.
Like a beach volleyball team.
