Summoner Rework

[Akiza]

Summoner's should summon a scaled down versions of the primals because right now the only pet that Summoner's use at endgame is Garuda since Ifrit and Titan are useless and have no affinity with the Summoner. Also the models were already in the game and the mini primals would allow Summoner's to use pets other than Garuda and solve the problem with of new pets being overshadowed by Garuda

[Shamirah]

No.

10char.

Only if I can ride them as a mount.

Edit: And I'd still only use Garuda cause then you also get the t&a.

I'm so tired of hearing this.

People need to stop making new topics, put some actual thought into their posts, and post in the actual established topics with discussion.


No where in that post does it say "why" changing the model would make us use others.

If Summoner's get a scaled down version of the primals it would have all t he moves of the original primal and make the pets more situational

I'm all for a rework of the summoner egi's and play style, but this doesn't seem like a productive change.

You want to fix the SMN pets? Okay, simple.

Change 1: Let us macro pet commands.
Change 2: Replace Ifrit's Radiant Shield with his old Crimson Roar buff from FFXI. Grants an AOE buff to himself and anyone nearby that boosts physical attack by 25% for 15 seconds on a 60 second cooldown. Also give him a stat that grants him a Haste buff every time he Criticals.
Change 3: Give Titan a Convalescence type move that gives him a large buff to heals he receives for 30 seconds and shorten the cooldown on his Earthen Ward to 30 seconds.

Titan, useless?

No.

And really Ifrit's only as pathetic as he is because Radiant Shield is trash. Replace that with some type of burn ability based on DoTs on the target (similar to fester). Hey look, interaction between the summoner. Done.

I've got issues with the class's flavor but the class's balance issues are mild at worst.

Eh, personally Athena's suggestion more, because garuda so far has always been more viable then Ifrit and the radiant shield change wouldn't make it all that more viable. However, I do agree that the egi's could be miniaturized versions of themselves. Like in extreme mode, we see titan summon mini-titans. IMO, egi's would be more visually appealing in said way.

No he doesn't. He summons bigger versions of the Egi's. They just have Titan's color instead of the gold/orange of the Egi.
