Another Upset Summoner

If they add the elemental wheel they must rework not only the Egi, also the BLM (Fire and Ice mechanic) and theyr actions.

Clearly you did not read my post as I said BLM would have to be reworked....that is precisely why I also said an elemental wheel will probably never happen as a result and yes WHM would also need a rework. Which just goes to show my point that the Egi glamours are probably the best and most efficient way development wise to bring us more Egi. Furthermore I am perfectly happy with the Bahamut Trance ability, I think it's awesome but it isn't going to replace the Egi or mean that the Egi will be removed. The Egi will still exist for abilities such as Enkindle as well as added DPS if nothing else.

Ouch, my bad there.

Lol indeed. You're right though ARR is not XI and without XI's elemental wheel we can't have a SMN that works the same way, and that's not a bad thing. Why should SMN be confined to a single box. Also as you say the Bahamut Trance works with the SMN's lore in ARR, so it's the perfect way to give SMN some burst DPS. I am interested to see what new abilities will come to the Egi also coz it would be great to have them all more balanced and viable.

Honestly I was hoping for an Egi that was pure AoE to help with speed runs. Guess it was a pipe dream ; ;

Oh yeah that's fair enough, but as Yoshi said all that would be is one extra Egi....but then what? If SMN is ever going to be a "true" SMN (as some people would say) then it needs a wide selection of Egi. Sooner or later SE would run out of unique roles to give the Egi and would have to turn to this glamours system. Also just coz they introduce this glamour system does not mean another Egi play style could come later, once the current Egi play styles are actually balanced and more viable.

I was hoping it too... or even a new pet with his own special action to make it unique or something.
