What Changes Does New Summoner Need?

[Rin_Kuroi]

The ideas presented with the new summoner are good but the execution is terrible. Honestly, I really hate attunements. I would like to pick the right summon for the right situation instead of them being part of a mostly static rotation. Do you have downtime during a fight? Maybe a safe place to stand? Summon ifrit and become a mini blm for most of the fight with high sustained damage. Add phase in a fight? There's garuda to aoe them down. Oh no! A big room wide aoe brought the party to low hp. Let's help the healer by choosing to summon Phoenix. Need some burst? Bahamut! Titan. I don't know what to do about titan. Doesn't seem like SE knows either. Maybe summon for mobility? He punches stuff while you dance around. The ideas are there but they are all locked behind a limiting and static rotation. And we're still tied to the same janky pets.

This feels like the job we should have gotten in ARR. However, we're 4 expansions past ARR and it doesn't deliver.

EDIT: Also revert the bahamut/phoenix changes. ie two ahk morns per bahamut summon. fountain of flame + brand of purgatory combo during phoenix.

EDIT EDIT: The new summons should build attunements not cost attunements. When you have maybe 5 attunements you can summon bahamut and maybe 7 you can summon phoenix. Get rid of the colors. Just kinda spitballing.

EDITx3: Do something about Gemshine, Precious Brilliance and Astral Flow. Maybe when carbuncle is out these spells become Ruin/Outburst line of spells.
