SMN poorly implemented

[BlaiseArath]

I won't use that Ramuh-Egi then, why would I play it ?
Can it replace Garuda AOEs and Contagion or Ifrit DPS on single target and his radiant shield ? The answer is no.
You clearly just want to see new LOOKING summons, but don't really care about the utility of the summon.

No one would use that since paralysis is useless since everything resist most status alignments. The three egis are fine and we don't need a new one.
I could just use Ifrit which has a stronger aoe and blaze spikes.

I didnt think I could be any clearly with my sarcasm, even put "Unique" in quotation marks, so yah, Woosh friends... I was trying to point out even if we got new summons they would be utterly worthless anyway because balance, and that 2/3rds of our summons abilities are pretty carbon-copy of eachother already, so why would people want a new pet when it will be the exact same pet with different animations?

Also, Aiiro, a tad defensive much...? I don't want "new" summons, in fact, I've on many an occasion advocated I'd rather just use Carbuncle than another sh*t tier looking stick figure that they would give us.

We already have the basics covered. a Ranged, a Melee, and a Tank. Outside of a healing pet(which is dumb and no) theres not much room to wiggle. Which is I'm sure why they decided to introduce pet "glamours" instead.
