SMN wish list!

[Spythe]

snip?

Cause people like to cry and moan about stuff, I actually think SE did a good job with the SMN class. The story was cool and the game play is nice and interesting. I think people are caught up on the entire lore of the series instead of the current gameplay and classes that are in the game. These 8 jobs are pretty much the core jobs of the game, 2 tanks, 2 healers, 2 magic caster, 1 ranged melee, 2 melee. As you can see they need 1 more ranged that uses DEX to even out the game then they can focus on other stuff. I'm guessing the first new class/job would be a Corsair or some kind of gunner. That way they can make BRDs more BRD like for people that want that and a pure ranged melee DPS class for people that want that.

Guessing they will save a pure SMN class that sticks more to the series for the expo or later on and will bring a few more support classes. Not sure how having your pet do 90% of your damage would be fun to people.

Instead of complaining if you just accepted the way it is you'd enjoy the game more.
The Egis are not going away. Ever. EVER. SE would have to change the entire storyline if they did.
So instead of complaining, why not just try to like it?

I'm not sure to whom you're directing your post since you didn't quote anything. If it was at me, I don't know how anything I said could lead you to believe I want the Egis to go away.

Maybe they'll release an advanced class called "Summonest".

Alternatively,

"Summon 'er? I hardly had time to prepare the proper aetheric markings and begin the ritual to open a gate between realms!"

or,

"Summon 'er? Let me swiftcast first."

My biggest complaint about summoner is that y'all have made very few jokes on the name, or the fact that we're always horny :<

• Make Ifrit (and I think Titan, too) actually scale with Intellect. I expect my melee pet with an higher potency attack to do more damage than my ranged one when instead not even by adding basic attack plus ability it does more.
• Reduce DoT damage on pets by 90% like AoE abilities and/or make Sustain have a chance on tick to remove debuffs.
• Remove Radiant Shield on Ifrit because who the heck thought that giving a tank ability to a melee pet who can't keep hate at all was a good idea? Give it something that equals (or better, surpass) Contagion because right now there is absolutely no way even with a scaling fix that Ifrit will be equal to her.
• King Mog-egi after we defeat it because I want a bloody moogle running behind me all the time, alright?

I agree with that but I think Ifrit may actually be better than Garuda in terms of DPS. Since he has a melee atk + a basic spammable attack its twice as likely for him to get a crit which buffs your spell speed. Ifirit does less damage than Garuda but not by much they need to buff his damage or make "Enhanced Pet Actions" A LOT better. Only a 20% chance seems like a cruel joke, at least make it 50% then maybe Ifrit could stand a chance.


Just tested both Ifirit and Garuda their basic attack/auto attack is the same dmg output BUT Garuda AoE special does 60 to 70 more damage than Ifrit even though it does lower potency. The one downside is it has a cast time while Ifirit doesn't but the recast time starts as soon as she starts casting so even with a cast time its still a lot better than Ifrit. I also noticed a miss on Ifrit AoE move while never noticed it on Garuda fighting the same mob which was lv 44. Ifrit needs some serious love.
