Summoner Changes

[Tharian]

Inosaska, you aren't wrong in your assessment. But only when it is applied to Dungeons and other group content. Trust me, as a player who prefers to solo whenever possible, Garuda Egi is dead useless in almost all solo content. The only Summon that I use regularly is the Tank Summons.

Buffing the Egi to take on the form of the primal for 30s wouldn't break lore but summoning a primal as a permanent pet and letting it temper everyone would break lore. Besides they already destroyed an iconic role by turning it into a affliction Warlock and calling it a Summoner.

So I just presented you with 2 well, detailed facts about why your demands cannot be met and you counter with a three line paragraph of more of your opinions (and wording them as if they were facts, to boot)?

IT. IS. NOT. HAPPENING.

[Madoka]

Heck I don't even think Aleister Crowley's own followers of Thelema would be so arrogant as to call themselves that.

I don't think any of tubeman's espers realize their powers come from Thelema

This isn't Final Fantasy 11 people. Stop expecting the jobs, classes, abilities, and everything to be like Final Fantasy 11.

It is a different lore, different design, different concept.

And summoner is not an afflication warlock.. It is a non-elemental caster. And following the spells final fantasy uses, they just happen to be damage over time spells.

Hardly.

Titan-Egi beats out Garuda when you're leveling, soloing FATEs and embarrassing terrible tanks in dungeons. In just about everything else, Garuda's better or the same.

That being said, Arcanist is the solo class in this game. There's very little solo content in the game you can't do half naked with only one hand and no Egi out.

I wish they'd let us keep out Carbuncles as pets and make the primals abilities instead. When you cast Contagion, for instance, Garuda apepars and casts it and then disappears, etc. Summoners would still remain a pet class, but instead of being forced to use one summons all the time, every fight would end up featuring all of them. Make Enkindle an AOE where all three appear and combine for one big move.

[Kirinichibon]

I would rather see bouncy little carbuncle all of the time than a floating egi or primal filling up my camera view. An optional cosmetic ability to change which pet you'd prefer would be great.

That's not the same thing? >w>

According to the story we have the crystals and enough aether to summon the full fledged primal. Also the pet system is poorly designed as of now we are a dot job with pets in the background when it should be the other way around where Summoners focus on buffing their pets to increase their damage and casting dots should take a back seat.

No, we don't. The beast tribes, after gathering tons and tons of crystals, tempering large amounts of their race and others and several other things were able to. You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Just play another class already
