A more summonery Summoner

[Leigaon]

What's it with summoners and bigger primals?

the vocal minority is pushing for summoners to have more "classic" summons. They don't care about the actual problems that needed to be addressed for the actual job. A lot of SMN are just fine with the job, both in terms of how it functions as a DOT based job or how it looks, to a certain extent at least.

Most of the SMN mains are willing to see what these new abilities give us in terms of damage output or what the egi's will do. The people who like summoner for what it does and can do are either too busy playing or have ran out of gas trying to explain how a monster summon won't make things better. You can make a detailed summoning action of Ifrit Egi that is like a mini version of him, turns the sky into fire and declares he is here in chat box for all to see, but in the end if he still has the ability that gives just himself counter..what has really changed?

I believe the egi's aren't great, actually while I was playing first time through I thought it would be nice if we got lesser summons, like what we had out in FFXII. We didn't, but that won't make me change my job. Some will change to BLM, those are the fan boys, some will stay on summoner and complain about how the egi's just don't look right. I dunno, I've ran out of fumes for this. As a person who mains summoner, I am a bit ashamed of the SMN vocal community and what they ask to change. I just don't want the teams to start focusing on the looks of the job needed some actual foundation rework.

I am very excited for 3.0 I am happy with what I have seen so far. I believe the egi battle should be fought after the dealings with the actual job mechanics. But, I'm done we can let the masses beg for their new awesome looking pets, who knows..maybe they'll get them. Good luck to you SMN's in 3.0!
