Another Upset Summoner

[Cabalabob]

You're upset, why?

You're asking why? I'm baffled. See that tiny little green thing next to the summoner, the one doing nothing while the summoner is doing some bad ass move? Yeah, that thing is the SUMMONER'S, SUMMON!!

I would've pulled the plug on SMN ages ago, change the name to something nerdy like Arithmetician and go with it instead of upsetting everyone who wants the full summoner fantasy, but can't get it as long as this job is linked to ACN.

If they add the elemental wheel they must rework not only the Egi, also the BLM (Fire and Ice mechanic) and theyr actions.

Clearly you did not read my post as I said BLM would have to be reworked....that is precisely why I also said an elemental wheel will probably never happen as a result and yes WHM would also need a rework. Which just goes to show my point that the Egi glamours are probably the best and most efficient way development wise to bring us more Egi. Furthermore I am perfectly happy with the Bahamut Trance ability, I think it's awesome but it isn't going to replace the Egi or mean that the Egi will be removed. The Egi will still exist for abilities such as Enkindle as well as added DPS if nothing else.

Ouch, my bad there.

Lol indeed. You're right though ARR is not XI and without XI's elemental wheel we can't have a SMN that works the same way, and that's not a bad thing. Why should SMN be confined to a single box. Also as you say the Bahamut Trance works with the SMN's lore in ARR, so it's the perfect way to give SMN some burst DPS. I am interested to see what new abilities will come to the Egi also coz it would be great to have them all more balanced and viable.

What happened with the Egi thing? I was really really hoping to make new changes (good ones) to the Egis.. even I thought the new action video would show us a Egi or even new actions for they. Now. I was truly disappointed.

Blm got so much love because it's Yoshi's class.

Funny Alei coz I was telling Naki that all night least night, lol.

If they add the elemental wheel they must rework not only the Egi, also the BLM (Fire and Ice mechanic) and theyr actions. And i would add the WHM on the list, too. (Stone and Aero). They would need to do a complete rework to the game. Also, if they add actions to each elemental Egi like in the FFXI, they would need to add buffs to the whole party on them to cast. (Like stoneskin in Titan, for example).

Did you even read what I and Solo wrote?

Honestly I was hoping for an Egi that was pure AoE to help with speed runs. Guess it was a pipe dream ; ;

I'd like to point out aside from the glorious age of blinding tanks with Akh Morn coming they DID say they are giving more skills to pets so there may be incentive to use more than just Ruda....

Actually, Yoshi-P didn't say they're giving the Egi more skills. If you could link me to where you think he said that, I'll double check it, but when listening to the Japanese on the live letter (because the interpreter wasn't exactly on point, no offense to her), I heard nothing of the sort.
