Fix Sumnmoner

[SoloWingMetatron]

After watching the Live Letter and reading all the threads/comments here, I do get why they chose to hold off on new Egi (no point having a multitude of different looking Egi that do the exact same thing/or a series of totally unique Egi that would be difficult to balance alongside a job overhaul) However I feel the whole point of the SMN is to be able to summon a multitude of different Summons, and I worry what this change to SMN may mean for the future.

That being said this new Egi glamour system could be the perfect compromise when considering game mechanics/balancing. Since there is no real elemental wheel in play in FFXIV, with no particular element being strong/weak to another, there is no real way to implement new unique Egi easily without treading on the toes of other existing Egi or creating more balancing issues. However by just having the Summon I/II/III abilities (Ranged/Tank/Melee) and then allowing the SMN to glamour a skin over the top will allow us to have an Egi of every single Primal!

I assume the glamoured Egi's abilities will also get new visuals based on the glamour in play, giving the impression of a totally new Egi with new abilities but with the actual mechanics of either the Ranged/Tank/Melee Egi types. This would prevent any future Egi balancing issues and allow SE to just create a whole bunch of new Egi for us to unlock (via new Austerities quests) and then glamour. This also adds a level of customization to SMN, allowing us to pick and choose our favorite trio of Egi from a potentially wide selection.

So quite frankly if that's truly the only way future Egi can be implemented then I will happily take it. Also by changing any future Egi into technical glamours this means the SMN won't have to wait for a level cap increase every time it gets a new Egi, so that's yet another problem solved!

Come on guys when you think about it, this could be perfect for SMN!..
