Another Upset Summoner

[Spellbinder]

People on these forums want our SMN to be like 100% of our power or else it isnt playing a SMN aparently.

Or, you know, some people could just want a little more utility than pet auto-attacks, like I mention in pretty much any summoner discussion I join. As I've said before in previous threads. DoTs are fine, I have no qualms with them. I like them. But the Egi are uninspired in terms of what they bring to the table.

Are people really satisfied with just using which ever Egi they think edges out the other two for DPS, and to hell with variety or interesting gameplay? No one finds it strange that the developers originally said "well, we didn't want to make the pet class complicated," and then we get new classes like Ninja and Dark Knight which he explicitly said on the stream are complicated classes?

I would LOVE to change things up by having a meaningful reason to juggle between Garuda and Ifrit inbetween my DoTs, but nope. Too complicated.

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.

Here, in the 04:20 i think, around that time in the video they said about work more on the Egis than adding new ones. I only understand the english voice, so i dont know if he actually said it or no. If not... well, thats a pretty screwed up traduction.

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....

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

Is diferent to "Summon" something or channel something power

For example conjurer channels the power of elementals and elements to heal without consuming their own lifeforce, u consider that "summoning the elementals" ? same for BLM and "the void"

Is not about "power" every job may loves to have a stupid "deadly pillar ray stuff nuke" but thats not how SMN supose to work.

thats not how SMN supose to work.

Thats how it worked until they became pets.

Also, calling over a Primal attack is considered a Summoner ability over the FF series.

Well, i dont know japanese so i was listening to her. I am sure i heard they wanted to focus on Garuda, Titan and Ifrit for the moment. We will have to wait until someone writes all the Live letter literally and read it more carefully to check it out.

Summoners should be able to use a massive attack like how summons work in every other FF game. One that acts as a finisher, consumes the Egi and puts it on a cooldown so you have to rotate between Egis. Enkindle is not good enough.

Akh Morn would like a word with you...

they don't pay attention.... just complain when they find out they can't run around with mini shiva through Mor Dhona while waiting on everything to get Echo nerfed.
