Good direction with SMN!

I like egis though.
And I don't particularly find tacking on endless, nearly identical demi phases every expansion to be all that interesting.

Ideally you'd find a way to diversify the trances more in a way that fits the theme of whatever primal is out. Kind of like how DWT is just ruin spam, whereas FBT is a combo where you rock between 2 abilities.

Take that idea and just start running with it. Each trance can have its own mini-rotation, it just needs to be the actual focus of the class.

I've been trying to visualize the traditional SMN of FF and it's rotation but was having difficulty. Mini-rotations really clicked with me though and I think that can really work well. The Phoenix's single to AOE combo was a step in the right direction. So, just a thought, Phoenix could later be upgraded to a 3 or 4 tier combo (not counting Enkindle), allowing it to stay out longer. Or maybe it would work where the summoned primal takes even more precedence, replacing a majority of your rotation temporarily. Almost as if you became the summon itself for a bit. Say, for example, for 30 seconds you are going through a 5 or 6 tier rotation AS Bahamut, sort-of. So instead of Bahamut changing back into an egi, it would change back into you, or at least give you back control of your normal hotbar.

Sort of joking, sort of not, I hope when they get rid of Egi's they give them to us as minions.
