Benchmark for a SMN thread. (Yes this again.)

I like the summoner as it is now. It's fun. This isn't any of the previous FF games. It's it's own game with it's own lore and people need to get over the fact that it's not 11 with new graphics.

The reason Square is looking at the Summoner now is because players are not playing the Summoner how they envisioned it. To fix this issue remove Tri- Disaster from the Summoner and replace it with contagion from the Garuda Egi.
For the Egis Square Enix intended that the Summoner's would swap each pet in and out instead of using Garuda as their go to pet. To fix Egis without adding abilities give every one a dot that has a unique effect.
Ifit Egi- remove Radiant Shield and replace with eruption which leaves a dot
Titan Egi- increase his defense, hp and threat generation and give him a earth dot
Garuda Egi- remove contagion and replace with friction which leave wind burn dot.
As for the appearance of the Egis make them the size of the tallest Roegadyn Male and resemble the Primals for purely visual purposes.

Even the World Cup is facepalming at that. Please, sources! Not just pure conjecture based on what you hope and think is true. This is not FFXI SMN, which is the gameplay you described.

Even he/she/it doesn't know what he/she/it wants because he/she/it leaks ignorance all across summoner topics, so it's better to just skip the post and discuss the topic with people who have a clue about balance, gameplay and lore.

Barking dogs always annoy me. Always.

... Not you Dwill. You're fine. Referring to the chihuahua in the room.

And there goes any serious discussion we had on making the job better. Someone make a new thread. Now.

Give Summoner's the godlike primals as a permanent pet with no cost and rage timer where it just one shots everything. Since people don't want any meaningful changes to the Summoner I'm just going to make some outrageous and as op suggestions possible. Also how about when we summon theses primals they just cause world wide weather effect as well even in dungeons
Ifrt-just explosive fires and burning throughout all areas
Titan-Massive Earthquake everywhere
Garuda F5 Twisters and Massive Hurricanes everywhere even in Binding Coils and Raids.

Won't really make a difference from your other posts to be quite honest.
