Re-work of SMN

[Lycia]

I mean the only complaint i have for Summoner is the 300 second cool down on Enkindle, and no burst damage. That could honestly be fixed by making Enkindle half the time and double the potency. Garuda Enkindle ability is 250 i believe, making that 500 with half the cool down would allow Summoners to cover burst attack every 2.5 minutes. Spur could also receive a drop in cool down from 90 seconds to say 60 seconds.

This... I'm all for this. Hell I'd go for more potency and the SAME cooldown. I think I hit for 600-700ish with Ifrit....to have to wait 300s for that seems silly. Then again, considering that we have 55-65 DPS going on, plus the only class that is capable of attacking 24/7 if played right...yeah we don't have much to complain about

Summoner doesn't need a rework, FFXIV Summoner ≠ FFT Summoner or any other summoner they chose a different design for the class people just need to get over it.

That having been said:
Pet controls, AI and responsiveness needs a lot of work. All abilities should have an auto cast on/off toggle so we can pick what skills they use automatically. Stances should not be wiped the moment we tell our pets do do something, if I put my pet in stand and order it to attack a mob it should attack that mob then come back to me in stand stance once the mob is dead. When I hit a pet ability it should fire off immediatly e.g. with Ifrit his stun is near useless as it goes off after 3+ seconds making it pointless as an on demand stun.

Tri-Disaster is for the most part unused due to its high cast time, low dmg and a bind that breaks on dmg. Apart from some intensly niche uses (Garuda feathers) this ability has practically no use 99% of the time.

Spur should be merged with Rouse at a 60 sec cd.

Enkindle could be a 15 sec cd for the damage it does.

I have a feeling that Tri-Disaster is going to be huge in PvP if used right.

PVP will use a different skillset :P

Probably not entirely. There will be pvp specific abilities that you gain. And I think I remember them saying part of pvp progression is the abilities.

But we have no idea if it will just be a few abilities that can really alter our playstyles or if we get all new stuff.

With that cast time? I sincerely doubt it.

Swiftcast-Tri-Disaster instant bind to range out and dot up in 1 on 1 situation....escape in a second situation.
