BLUSMNTRNMAGE! Are you all ready to Trance Dance?! Its going to be sicko DoTPSBurstDPTD (damage over time per second burst dance per trance damage)!

I don't see what's so upsetting. There were talks about new pets, but for a lot of other summoners that was not the case of "fixing" summoner. It came from the current pets being adjusted and the caster being adjusted.

We have no idea how the new abilities will go for the pets. What I do like are the trances, how we're channeling primals power through use to not just give it form but to perform a move. Instead of a 5 minute movie of Bahamut coming out and firing a blast we push it through our bodies.

To me they're giving us a wonderful change. New pets with the same problems fixes nothing except to the users who just want something new and flashy. If that's the case..black mage is the way to go for you. New pets may have been part of the original plan but they got phased out. It's not fair to ask them to inform us of every change in development as it goes through instead release it to the public when it's more definite. It might of bee a possible idea for Yoshi then but things change and they have to hold it back.

I understand why people are disappointed but I think they made a good point that refining and expanding the Current Egis was likely more value to the class and while you don't have a new Egi Summoners now can channel friggin Bahamut. That's got to count for something.

Yoshi never said anything about the Egi being phased out...all they have done is chose to prioritize the Bahamut Aether stacks as a new rotation for the lvl 60 abilities. This does not mean we will see any other Trances/Primal Aether stacks (although that would be cool) The future lvl70 abilities could very well be Egi focused. Especially if there will only ever be 3 Egi types (Ranged/Tank/Melee) with new Egi be introduced via glamours for one of these 3 types. This makes it quite easy for SE to introduce new balanced Egi abilities to accompany the Bahamut Stacks/Dreadwyrm Trance.

Promises something cool -> Delivers something possibly even more amazing -> still not satisfied.

So, at lvl 60 SMN becomes Blue Summoner Mage (BLUSMNMAGE) and they're so powerful that they single handedly pimp smack Elder Primals!

Better watch out BLMs there's a new caster in town! Elder Primal Jaidee!

Plot Twist: I am part of the Elder Primal Hive Mind! One of us, One of us!

Unless they add an elemental wheel there is no point to adding new Egis since we will use the one with the strongest damage. In this game Summoners harness and channel the energy of the primals shape it into a biddable avatar that's how we get the egis. Bahamut stacks/Dreadwyrm Trance allow Summoners to channel the power of Bahumat which is in line with what Summoner's are suppose to do in this game. If SE allowed us to channel the power of the other 7 primals and do a primal trance with them it'll complete my vision of what a Final Fantasy Summoner looks like in an MMORPG.

You're right it is definitely something amazing. However not everyone has to agree on that, just coz people find the new Dreadwyrm Trance/Bahamut Aether stacks amazing, doesn't mean others will. It's all about personal taste and people who would rather see this new system be channeled through an Egi are not wrong in that view point as Egi are part of a SMN's repertoire.

You could actually argue that calling it Dreadwyrm/Bahamut Trance is merely a gimmick, as all it is is just a name and therefore superficial. These new abilities could have been called anything, they still would have worked the same way. Don't get me wrong though, the fact it's related to Bahamaut is cool, but it doesn't really mean anything game play wise.

Trances for the other Primal's are also unlikely to happen for the reason that FFXIV does not have an elemental wheel. No point having a Trance for each Primal only to unleash the exact same attack with just a different visual effect. It's no different to the current Egi issue in that regard.

Considering there will be new skills in 3.0 why not like wait until then to see if the new abilities are good or not and then maybe complain if you must?
True more Egis were talked about a few times but SE has promised many things, lol

New Egi will come in some form, trust and believe.
