Concerns Regarding DPS Balance: Physical Ranged, Red Mage, and Summoner

[Khryseis_Astra]

Did you read your job quest and the lore of the job?
Because this imply you didn't.

There’s been plenty of in-game lore bits that could be used to justify why we would be able to use Levi, Shiva and Ramuh now, when we couldn’t before.

Not to give spoilers for those who haven’t done them yet, but look a little more closely at the dialog and WoL “upgrades” in ShB MSQ, the Eden raids, and a more in-depth discussion in EW of how summoning relates to ancient creation magic.

All egis really are, are arcane constructs created using the lingering aetheric essence of a defeated primal. If we’ve defeated them, we’ve been exposed to that essence. There was also a reason why we weren’t “strong enough” to summon more egis, but again, with the events of ShB MSQ, that could easily be explained away.

Doesn't change things in fact.

Shiva still impossible because (i will say it again), this primal was created by Ysayle and was tied to her soul. Only her was able to summon it with enough Crystal. Shiva disapeared alongside Ysayle (herectics stated they were unable to summon Shiva after her death).
Meaning : you must summon Ysayle soul to have access to Shiva..... if SE ever allow Shiva to player, i unsub directly. Leave Ysayle alone! She doesn't deserve to be the slave of a summoner!

For the grumpy bilibili gramps. It's a protector, it only attack if his childs (Sylph) are in danger.
it doesn't trust human at all, and even consider them to be the source of all the problems. It barely aknowledge the WoL....
And even if you're able to summon it.... You will have an hovering stationary mini bearded gramps that will only throw lightning when you're attacked and the mob enter a certain radius... Sooo great!

As for Levi-chan.... It's just a dumb and agressive big fat eel that can only use it power in water.... very usefull indeed!
