Archanists want an image of primals...not Digimons

[Magis]

That would require them actually creating a summoner class rather than reskinning WoW's affliction warlock and calling it a summoner.

So true. /10char

Ew, the pitiful looking egis aren't anything like Digimon.

Personally, i'd be far more interested in playing SMN if the primals you summon took on a Stand-like nature. A bit more humanoid-esque with powers based on the primal they're associated with.

I played SMN in FFXI and it was awesome. When I found out what SMN was in XIV, I refuse to play it. It's a bad attempt at a pet job. And when I saw the first screenshots of egis, I was all "lolz..."

I am ok with the looks (this thread was the same when in Beta, but with new players, I guess SE will have to look at it lol)

I just want Ifrit to be... usefull at endgame?

Mayhap with the level cap raise, new abilities will make it superior than garuda?

Can't wait to see Levi-Egi in action! ^^ (then again, poor Ifrit won't be needed)

It feels like this: use carbuncle < Ifrit (gbye carbuncle) < Titan (gbye Ifrit) < Garuda (gbye Titan) < Levi (gbye Garuda) < Ramuh (gbye Levi) on and on...

What if they were the digimons with big boobs, though?

I think there's supposed to be a revamp of SMN pets coming in the near future, 2.28 or 2.3?

I heard rumors that the development times is actually agitated by this concept of one replacing the other. They plan to overhaul it where each one will fill a unique niche for fights sometime soon.

Just rumors though, I have no idea if there is actually a source for this or not.

Correct, I think it's coming with the patch that is adding Ramuh.

Answers silly comment with the same one: just like an ugly girl with boobs: good for a night, when you're not sober.
