Summoner. Nice and fun. Where is the glamour? Also can I really not use TItan?

So this is just so I understand everything, I recently started my SMN and really enjoy it, I would love to get the glamour system soon but eh, not a big deal. Why can't I use my summons how I want? Is Titan really that bad? I want real advise and understanding please.

Titan does way less damage than the other two summons, and should basically only be used when you're running around solo. If you're in a party and you keep Titan out, you're basically insulting the tank and insinuating that they won't be able to hold aggro (unless the party agreed to some strategy using Titan, which is a thing). Basically, in a party it's your job to do damage and the tank's job to hold aggro. Using Titan is reducing your damage so your pet can (try to) hold aggro. Nobody's going to like that because it drags out the dungeon.

Now, there are times even in a party setting that Titan is encouraged. As I said before, some groups will try to run with Titan tanking just for fun, but that's not a common use. The most common use are hunt mobs and Odin/Behemoth/Coeurlregina fates. SMN damage is crappy on those fates due to the debuff cap, but credit is awarded based on aggro, and Titan can aggro enough for him to be the preferred pet if you're going to do that content on SMN.

Thank you, I know about hate as I main a healer and all, I just really enjoy Titan, he is fun and cool looking, I do respect my party and use Ifrit, gonna start using Garuda haven't gotten her yet, do you know much about the glamour system? I am sorry but I feel like asking here instead of in game during dungeons.

Titan is your pocket tank. Since your dungeon parties will have an actual tank you don't need Titan and using it will prevent your tank player from being able to do their job properly.

I don't really follow SMN news, so I could be wrong on this, but the last I heard it was in the works? I don't remember hearing any definite date for it, so I don't personally expect to see it any time soon. Totally willing to be wrong on that, though.

Thank you both(: I will just be patient and stick to my job of adding dps(: Titan will always be there, so I can use him out of dungeons.

Link? If they have scheduled** it for 3.1, I will be a happy camper.

** Yes, I know software development is a tad unpredictable so I can forgive them if they miss 3.1 and console myself with the fact that at least they had it planned for said patch

Q: In Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXI, you mentioned a system that would let us change the looks of summoner’s egi. Can you please tell us your progress on this?
A: We mentioned this one month before the release of Heavensward. Since then, we have been finalizing Heavensward and we’re currently working on adjustments for jobs, so we haven’t been able to address this just yet. We need to create effects for all the egi actions when their appearance changes, so it’ll require some time. We still have to decide whether we'll add these as we’re done with each one, or add them all at once, so please give us some more time.

Nothing about 3.1 ...

yes that is the statement. It is mentioned but not promised, since they are working on balancing the game more. But that doesn't mean they won't implement it; you just have to wait.

Been waiting since ARR ...

So we wait and wait and wait? I mean as much as it seems to bring hate, its been a complaint too long and they trolled with the level 50 quest about Ramuh egi. This needs to end, just get it done, I work as an animator, it would not take me 100 years to get animations done, just get it done. I know it takes time, but you can't troll or mention something and give nothing, do one at a time already. Sorry but it feels completely unfinished, I love DoT and the pets but not to where I can't use one ever except solo so glamour my Caster Garubutt to look like Titan and have a Caster Titan, someone said they should have Attacker type egi with a sword symbol, Tank with shield, and Caster has a Staff. Its done, I love ffxiv and enjoy the summoner but truly why is it so far away. I don't mean to rant or cause ripples but this is my passion to see the pets be used more.

Titan is our pocket tank. Ive seen him used to tank ramuh and twintania because people were having fun though.
Garuda is our aoe beast, but for her to be any use you need to set her to obey and control her directly. a killer aoe combo is to apply bio2 maisma and bio, order ruda to contagion, once that hits bane the dots to all enemies, painflare,garudas aoe attack while youre casting shadowflare, pop the two pet buffs and then use garudas super, painflare again. everything should be dead or super close at this point.
Ifrit is a beast dps, great for single target and bosses who dont move.

the glamours are taking so long because theyre doing animations and whatnot too. hopefully we'll get some with 3.1 at the least. itd be nice to have the carbuncles back. id also kill for leviathan and bahamut egi glamours.

Titan is hella useful in Dungeons if your tank sucks, which happens a lot in DF. :D
