The Egi Conundrum: Heavensward and Beyond!

[Kittyband]

My real wonder is will the new egi's look as terrible as Garuda or like a flying amputee like titan? Egi's just don't feel interactive and honestly people are only going to use whichever has the most DPS or makes their own DPS better. Wish the summons were temp but very high damage or had abilities useful to what they were but had a specialization to where you can summon a strong egi of your choice but the others are weaker.

Omg lol, guys, please educate yourself with the new SMN guide that was posted here. There are a lot of stupid suggestions or opinions people have without understanding the job. Read the guide, read the comments, and just wait til Heavensward to see what SMN gets. 10 good suggestions on this sub forum are killed with 100 bad ones.

The Egi's that we fight are larger and have the same abilities as their primal but when we get them their smaller and have fewer abilities.
Ifrit Egi- summons fire sprites and does volcanic eruption
Titan Egi- does weight of the land
Garuda Egi- summons plumes, Egi Chirada and Suprana.

Pets should be treated like a tool kit with Hard Mode Primal abilities also Egis should have individual cool downs.
Ifrit Egi - single target bursts
Titan Egi - multi-target tank
Garuda Egi - AoE Bursts
Leviathan Egi - sustained single target damage
Ramuh- AoE debuffer
Shiva- AoE crowd control
