Thread: (Un)Official Summoner Feedback Thread [3.0 Edition]

People seem to be forgetting that Garuda and Titan are in fact just glamours of Emerald Carbuncle and Topaz Carbuncle. This means the bulk of the coding for the glamour system is already implemented, as SE will clearly utilize the same code to implement all other glamours. The only thing they need to work on is a UI for the glamours we unlock and the models, animations, VFX, and sound. All of which are very easy things to develop, especially the Egi visuals (based off their current design). Unless SE are planning a complete visual overhaul of the Egi.

Every job in this game is an extension of its Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy V version except Summoner. Summoner starts as an Evoker with the ability to harness the power of magical beings and using Fire, Earth and Wind spells. They should make it so we invoke the power of Ifrit, Titan and Garuda and gain all their abilities. As a Caller the Summoner should call Hydaelyn and tranform into the Avatar of the Creator Goddess of Light gaining the ability to use all elements and Light of Destruction.

My feedback on the job

-Remove archetypes on pets and give them unique abilities that can be used in a majority of situations.
-Add more pets.
-Remove the dots and add unique new abilities for the summoner itself that gears it away from arcanist.
-Add the ability to switch through abilities like when switching jobs to the summons themselves and use the summon to fight your battles while you cast supporting skills. Most of your core used abilities should be done through the pet and not the caster itself which would follow better in line with the summoner style from final fantasy.

If they did these the class could be a lot better and won't make it difficult to design new abilities in future expansions but as of right now they will run into a problem with making new abilities that will just push it further away from the core summoner style from final fantasy.

So far my feedback..all I can say is this job does not feel like a pet class at all.

Losing interest fast Much rather have had our new EGI and such. I want to play a PET CLASS....not something that feels like some weird nuker...

They need to remove pets from the Summoner give it an Evoker based with abilities revolving around invoking Primals as their base abilities.
Invoke Ifrit- gain all Ifrit hardmode abilities
Invoke Titan- gain all Titan hardmode abilities
Invoke Garuda- gain all Garuda hardmode abilities

Caller spell line
Since thier are no deities to call upon beside Hydaelyn we should gain Hydaelyn's permission to summon her.

Considering how the story Summoner ended at 50, I can easily see something like this happening. Not completely removing Egis as pets mind you, but absorbing them to give you temporary Primal like powers.

that would be a blue mage not a summoner

Blue Mages learn spells/abilities from different monsters traditionally. They're talking about something like an Evoker (which is basically what we are now, because DWT)
