Why Are There No New Pet Skills For The Summoners Pets

[Venom1443]

I main summoner and i heard there would be no new Egi's so i was disappointed. But i was wondering as to why the Square Enix Devs haven't added any new pet skills in place of a new Egi. Anyone figure out why?

As far as I can tell its because of the new glamour system we are getting, but yeah, at least 1 new skill per summon would of been nice.

This is all just complete conjecture on my part, but I think it's the same reason Scholar got no new pets or pet skills either (not counting the replacing of old ones)- the pets aren't reliable. The more they make your damage or healing dependent on the pet, the less reliable that damage or healing is. The netcode isn't very good, so we experience a lot more problems making them perform actions than our characters do. From the viewpoint of devs who would have to rewrite the whole game to make the actions smoother, it's much easier to simply give the character more skills.

But again, that's just me thinking out loud. /shrug

Pet bar has 12 slots and they're all used.

The pet bar has 16 slots, only 12 are used. I would have preferred at least one new ability.

The pet bar would be the only one that has 16 slots.

And there's only 12 slots in the keybind list.

And there's no empty spots if you turn off the "hide unassigned slots" option.

Because that would require innovation.

I wish this game had a pet class

Because I don't have anymore usable buttons.
