Summoner cast Bahamut

[Leigaon]

So its going to do the actual Deathflare?

.. ... it better be really good... and not just for show.

From what it looks like is we get to do our own deathflare but once he's summoned we tell him when to do it. There was still roughly 5 seconds left and the symbol in front of us showed us giving the command. So I guess after we go into the trance so many times we can summon him. I would personally like it if he did it automatically at the end of the time limit or we could command it so if we're stuck or lag / forget..take your pick, it still goes off.

I'm glad they gave the ability to summon him, but of course give people an inch and they want a yard. Already we're filling up with "Gimme Ifrit!" rather than people wondering if the pet abilities are being fixed or the enkindle issues being addressed.

Not sure what you're expecting but it should be good. Unfortunately the "just for show" part is a concern and could very well just be that since that's what a vast vocal majority on here wanted rather than actual adjustments. I would assume that once we go from egi to winged-dragon mode the actual pets dmg increases.

I'm more curious about spell being adjusted either via potency / levels or their actual usefulness. Also, no new pet actions from what I've seen.

Then again, not everything was shown not every detail was given. We were given the meat, but the potato's and other delicious sides are still on the way.

I wonder about Direct Hit and our spell speed boost. If things will change so it goes off for that, or if it might not if things like Direct Hit are so frequent. Which is good either way, if it's frequent enough it means our pets will have that mid-crit a lot more.

In terms of just for show, this makes me happy. I'll have my carbuncle out and have him transform into the mighty dragon!
