When is summoner getting ramuh/shiva/levi?

I know a lot of people would disagree with me but I wouldn't mind it in the least if summoning Leviathan-Egi 1) created a short range aura that pulsed a low HP regen, 2) lowered the summoner's damage potency significantly and 3) increased the summoner's healing potency to that just below a dedicated healer.

The idea would be if a healer died you could raise them and while they are regaining MP you could emergency heal for a short time. Position Leviathan where the regen aura could do the most good and start healing. It would also be handy in open world low player situations or if a healer is removed from a dungeon and the group wanted to continue until a replacement could be found.

Again I know a lot of people would not want this (possibly even because of XI) but utility at the cost of damage (only with that Egi out) would not be such a bad thing perhaps.

Bump! XD

So... new benchmark says no change for how summons look

Ifrit looks bigger but it is still the awful egi model. I Still would of liked the egi size but the actual summon model.

Leviathan as egi could add: poison, slow debuff, silence, grant water shield to party members that absorb x amount of damage
Ramuh could add: enthunder, shock spikes that have a percentage to paralyze trash mobs and deal additional damage, AOE thunder DOT,
Shiva could add: frost DOT, ice spikes, attack down debuff on trash mobs, piercing or slashing resistance down for 10 seconds
Ifrit could get additional: attack up for party member for 15 seconds every 2 minutes
Garuda could get: hastega for 30 seconds every 2 mnts
Titan could get: earthen armor - absorb certain amount of damage mitigation within 30 seconds evert 3 minutes.

Basically bringing some of FFXI elements to the mix.

never gonna happen :

SMN will nerfed to the ground dps wise if something like that happened. Making lots of SMN angry , quit or reroll.

SMN will become a support class, being mandatory for 8man, something that SE doesnt want, thats why bard isnt a "bard" in FFXIV

however i agree that pet should bring something , piercing debuff for shiva since only Drg bring it.

SCH has "hastega" already with selene. ,attack done debuff = virus , paralyze is too OP for players , slow debuff exist (drg , blm and mnk ) but doesnt work on boss

im all for bigger and cooler Egis , and for more SMN feel , something like Aion spirimaster could work , skills based around the pet u have out

Even if they took the XI summons and put them in XIV I'm sure a lot of people would be more happy.

As long as the summons were as outdated graphically and functionally as XI when compared to XIV sure, you can have them.

Is it really so horrible that they made egi's a chibi caricature of the source primal?

I personally think the gameplay issues with how SMN functions is a far more pressing matter than the artistic choices made in development.

I might get something thrown at me but... What about Scholar? A new fairy.. ? =D VAMPIRE FAIRY!?

[Altanas]

SMN would have been much better had Egi's been summoned through Mudra like combos.
That way you would rotate through egis for different effects rather than just defaulting to a particular one.

Sometimes I think I'm the only one who likes Summoner exactly how it is....once the spell speed rework happens, it'll be completely perfect.
