    The Scions of the Seventh Dawn Are Bad at Their Job?

    Anyone else notice this? Their job is to prevent the tribe from summoning the primals. But does it not seem that they fail at it at every turn? The best tribe always seem to be able to summon their primals and it always fall upon you ( us ) to stop the primals. So how come everyone praise The Scions of the Seventh Dawn as if they are the best at what they do?.. This thought just cross my mind as I unlocked Shiva and figured I ask if anyone else felt the same haha

    haha I know what you mean. I have thought that for awhile now. Of course, if the scions didn't suck what would we have to do?

    There are maybe a couple dozen scions against the combined forces of all the groups capable of summoning primals. With this ratio I think they do a pretty good job.

    Their efforts to prevent primal summonings might not always work (but probably more often than we might think. Story wise each tribe hasn't been able to summon their primal more than three times each since 2.0), but their success rate dealing with already summoned primals is %100.

    Do you want the scions to stop Shiva for you? Or do you want to take on Shiva yourself?

    BTW you know that the prevent defense often fails right?

    The don't sucks per se it's more they happen to screw up and then we (as part of the scions) fix the screw up by taking out the primal summoned. In line with what Egwene, if the scions were perfect the game would be pretty dull.

    Their mission is actually to 'deal with the primal threat'. It's not specifically to prevent summonings, though that would obviously be preferable. But they work on ways to combat the threat. Corrupted crystal boat for levi, accessing their lairs in various ways, and of course their great champion to slay them (us). They get praised cuz they deal with the threat that no one else can, but in large part thanks to us.

    Not to mention Minfilia probably doesn't tell the player character all of the goings on. Given the nature of the group, she's not going to give out information on more than a need to know basis. There could be many foiled summoning attempts that we just don't know about because it doesn't concern us. We're basically the sword arm of the Scions, the last resort to be called upon when a summoning is imminent or has already happened.

    Very good point. I didn't thought of this.

    Moral of the story is you can get away with anything if you look hot and wear a cut off shirt.
