The whole Summoner "has been re-worked" is sad

[Galand]

So during the entire summoner translation the chick had no idea what she was saying, but the summoner "rework" boils down to.

If tri-diaster lived up to its name, it would be too powerful, so they made it a lolspell

So they are changing this spell to "tri-bind", and later on you will get "tri-diaster" which will put 3 dots up at once

No new egis, current egis will get more abilities.

While you attack you will gain "Bahamaut Aether Stacks" and after so many stacks you spend them to have Bahamaut basically take possession of you and you will be able to use some of his direct attacks.


Fixing Summoners shouldnt be hard.

1. Let bane spread dots to all mobs, not a limit of 3, the new tri-diaster did NOT mention a AOE aspect
2. Get rid of Miasma 2's melee range requirement.
3. Make Shadow flare better, more damage or an added effect
4. Make contagion a SMN spell, not a pet spell
5. Give the Egis either more health or better durability, they should not drop dead during every boss fight nor should I have to manually move them around the battlefield

Also, if the developers of FF11 can find a way to have 13 summons and 8 elementals, I dont get why these developers can't do the same. Look at Warcraft for example, their Warlocks are basically the same class and they have what 7 demons all with different uses? What about hunters in that game, they have a endless supply of pets they can use.

I can't believe people are drinking the kool-aide that making new egis isn't possible. Also people who are excited by the Dreadwrym mode act like we are going to turn into a 100 foot dragon, you switch to his stance which flashes quick glimpse of his face for a second, then can use a different skill set and call down a beam of light. Again this is just like being a warlock in warcraft with their demon form.

Nothing here is showing a "re-working" of the class at all or any change to its mechanics.

I'll wait until I actually play the jobs before I say if the job is lackluster or not.

SMN playerbase is never ever happy about anything. Not in this game or in FFXI. They should just delete the job and encourage SMNs to try another game

We have been, for years...and for years we've pleaded to do something to SMN.
Then they need to learn how to make them more equal to each other.
We are summoners...we're suppose to Summon...Summons. That's the whole point.
They just keep messing them up. They gave you more ACN skills than summons? Lol.

you do and like all but 1 FF game they are worthless.

As a summoner main, i think the changes are good, they giving smn more burst damage which is needed badly. All 3 dots go up in one GCD so you can dot / contagion / bane / fester faster. Summoner will hopefully no longer be completely useless against adds. I just hope they put summoner a lil closer to the middle as far as dps goes, as summoner is close to the bottom right now. I'm sad they didn't say what changes they were going to make with spell speed, as that will be what determines if I continue to play the class or not.

Would have been nice to get at least one new egi, possibly ramuh with lightning dots or something. But oh well.

Do you understand they have been teasing more egis since launch? They directly stated new egis would come at level cap, noone wants to use the same 3 pets for another 2 years. Its like hunters in Warcraft, every new expansion they get tons of new pets to tame, warlocks get the same tired demons.

If they at least would let me turn them into other egis/carbuncle/summons or whatever for visual purposes thats fine with me, i dont need them to have unique spells each because thats apparently asking too much.
