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!!

Well I for once am glad that the developers realized that adding more pets is "POINTLESS" other the than just looking different, they mention that they will add different pets later just for "glamor".

WHY, add more pets when you will only use ONE pet......yes, you will only use ONE pet.
The dev's. could of added liaviathan, Shiva, Ramuh,,,,,New primal, bahamut....and 5 more new pets.....in the end you will only use "ONE" pet. maybe two at the most.
you will not be pet dancing on the middle of a fight, you will have ONE pet only and continue your summoner rotation.

Please tell me why you are not using Ifrit and titan now?....same thing will happen if 1000 more pets are added, u will use ONE pet only, all the dev. time/animation for every pet is such a waste when in the end it comes down to using just one.

Okay, fine. You say no matter how many pets they add, we will only use one. But who's fault is that?

I don't even necessarily want "more" pets. I just want better balance. Wouldn't it have been nice if there was actual incentive to use Garuda AND Ifrit in the same fight? They could have given us a skill that makes it mp efficient to switch between them. Instead of Dreadwyrm Trance, they could have given us an ability that adds utility to our repitoire depending on which Egi we were using.

But no, the developers decided they can't balance the pet class, so they're just going to sweep the Egi under the rug and give us nothing to interact with them at all. Oh, but we're getting glamours so it's all good, yay!!!

My problem is not the lack of new egis, but the lack of ANYTHING being done to emphasize the summons of the summoner.

Not true, they said new actions for the pets. They stated they wanted to work in the ones inside the game and make them more viable instead of adding more Egis too soon.

I think its the right choice to make, there is no point on calling more Egis if everyone is going to use the same like happened with Garuda and Ifrit.

I was listening to the Japanese, not the low-quality interpreter (not that it's her fault, she's obviously not familiar with the game) and I heard no such thing. They said they would let us change how they look (some time off in the future), but there was no mention of more Egi abilities. If you can pull a quote from the Japanese and not the English, I'll believe it when I see it.

Actually I use two right now. Garuda on speed run mobs because she has better AoE burst abilities and Ifrit on the boss fights so yea. Also I bust out Titan in doggy stomach for adds so dps can just focus on objectives. I can take the minor dps loss in there if it means the team can down the boss faster.

"Dreadwyrm Trance is an ability that summons the power of Bahamut. While under the effect of this ability, you’ll be able to gain stacks of Bahamut Aether, which you can then spend with an action."

This is actually new "summon" that is what summoner is supposed 2 do? Summon?

No, it's the "power" of bahamut. It was the pretty bahamut head buff in the video that disappeared after 1.5 seconds. Yes, I'm splitting hairs, but I still stand by my previous post.

Summon power or summon egi, it is still summon. Or it is supposed 2 be pet always that what you summon?

People on these forums want our SMN to be like 100% of our power or else it isnt playing a SMN aparently. They also seem to think the whole DoTs and Pet thing is a reskinned Warlock when things like Necromancers existed in games before WoW came out.
