A more summonery Summoner

[Wizarus]

I'm more worried about a viable SMN. Looking at these new tools BLM is getting, I surely hope SMN is getting something as well, since you only need 1 caster and BLM will be even better at AoE than it is now.

Something? SMN is getting Deathflare, aka Akh Morn! A humongous aoe beam of death with an unknown amount of potency. And that's probably it's lvl 60 ability, because it consumes 3 stacks of Bahamut Aether (a new mechanic where stacks are generated when you use Aetherflow) and it's getting Painflare which also uses Bahamut Aether, but only 1 at a time. So it's getting some really cool stuff.

Also, BLM's new things aren't to boost its aoe game, but its single-target dps, as Yoshi said in the stream.

I don't really care about some Moonfire ripoff, sorry.

If what you say is true, then what of this talk about Fire 4 replacing Flare?

You won't be able to use Fire 4 forever, unless there is a way to have the buff wear off just in time for you to recast Eno. Even then it seems to be single target only.

I don't think removing the egi would be a good move I think most people who enjoy smn like having their pet and what makes the pet class which is what people wanted.. As far as I understand fire 4 isn't an aoe so that wouldn't remove flare for groups of mobs..

Uneducated folk not knowing what they're talking about. The usual.

...and that's why I asked a question? But please continue to troll.

No no, Higashikata's right. People assume that because it's a big thing of fire that takes up a lot of space it'll be aoe, but that's missing out on Yoshi saying it's single-target. They see pictures and make assumptions without all of the facts. The two IV spells are for BLM's single-target dps, not for aoe-ing. That'll still be Flare's job.

Wizarus, I don't think Higa was saying that as an insult directed at you, but at the people who made you think fire iv would be a flare replacement.
