SUGGESTION NEW TANK CLASS/JOB ( EVOKER ------> HIGH SUMMONER ) <(o O)>

[Engineer]

Hi, i was just thinking on how SE can add a Traditional Final Fantasy Summoner while keeping the current one. I came up with "High Summoner" FFX. Yes this would be a different variation of Summoner, similar to how we have White Mage to Black Mage, and Dark Knight to Dragon Knight ETC. Sooo Summoner to High Summoner.

The Starting class would be Evoker.



I see Evokers Summoning Elementals to fight in battle.

The Job would be High Summoner.



I see high Summoners using Espers as their main form of attack and defense. (or something entirely new)

The Espers would Replace the Elementals when obtaining them.



Size of Espers.



Gameplay

All dps is done through the Espers, while the High Summoner has a few buffs for the esper.

The High Summoner can Slowly store energy from the astral plan. They can use this energy to heal, or buff the espers, and even transfer the energy to allow the espers to perform its signature attack.

When an Esper is not Summoned it slowly regenerates HP in the astral plane. If the Esper dies, you have to wait for it to fully recover before Summoning it again.

There will be no ability AI for the Espers. Every ability will be micromanaged by the High Summoner while auto attack is going. The command "Sic" will act like a Gambit System for low tier skills so You can set what skills the esper will do or not do while activating the skills you dont want it to do manually.

The pets hold 80% of the abilities learned on the class/job, and the other 20% involve the Esper.

This would be Class/Job that queues as a Tank(This can be possible since we are micromanaging the pets every attack) , but of course there will be pets that are DD, Melee, and Caster etc. Similar to how Summoner is a Dps but also has Titan.

So what do you guys think? What pet focused job would you all want? Please "LIKE" and comment if you would want to see a pet focused job in the Future.

P.s. Of course Blue Mage, Thief,Red Mage, and Dark Knight should be implemented first.

Just an idea of a pet focused class/job, it doesnt really have to be called High Summoner. It could even be Puppetmaster or Machinist and have all mechanical Eidolons like XIII. just an idea thread..

Hmm, i can see you've given this a lot of thought. I didn't play 1.0 so i couldn't give you feedback, however i did enjoy the pretty pictures ^^

Only problem is..

Spoiler below: (Highlight)

Zodiark is the God of the Ascians/Paragons. So.... Dunno. Lahabrea mentions it and a whole lot of Paragons start chanting his name during the ending cinematic.

Also I don't see why we'd get another pet class that's similar in play style to ACN/SMN/SCH yet it'd be a fresh class/job. Thats one reason I don't see this idea working well.

I like how the High Summoner gets all these cool looking Espers while Summoners are stuck with the burning chicken and mcnuggets.

I think Summoners should get Espers. Level cap is still 50 so we might get Espers for Summoner at higher levels.

No thank you, don't need even more screen clutter to appease your desire for screen time.

Prior to FFX all summons were just a sprite graphic doing a slightly stronger effect to account for higher MP cost instead of a spell graphic. There already is a Summoner job in the game, just because you don't like doesn't mean that it doesn't fill the roll. I don't like that Tanaka made Dark Knights a generic 2H class, but don't see me creating new threads instead of adding to existing ones about wanting DRK to be a Sword & Board job.

I don't mind the size of the egi but I wish they'd just walk instead of float.

Oh geeze, what a hater. What is the point of feedback if you're just supposed to lay down and accept whatever SE dishes out at the end of the day?

I don't see the suggestion being reasonable with as 'great' as treatment as SMN has gotten, but I think the concept is cool nonetheless. I want more pet jobs that pets play a more comparable % of dmg in relation the player, regardless.

While I agree that there needs to be more pet classes/jobs; This is really just another Arcanist/Summoner/Scholar.

LOL Screen Clutter? The High Summoner will be way in the background while the Esper would be in the place of a Tank. The espers are about the size of a large roegadyne, so i dont understand your screen clutter logic.

FFXI Dark Knights weapon were Scythes, 2 hand swords belong to Rune Fencer.

i dont see it that way. The mechanics are different and the only similarity is the actual pet commands. Different attacks, different pets, different rotations, different everything.

Arcanist/Summoner is Dot Focused While Evoker /High Summoner is Pet Focused.

Its basically like Comparing Monk and Dragoon, its Similar but yet so different.

But what do you think this needs to be even more different?
