SMN - Most Glaring Issues

[Schondetta]

just wanted to add my 2 cents on Bahamut summon itself

having Ahk Morn on a weird recast timer within Bahamuts summon times feels inorganic and sloppy to me. I dont see why this makes sense to try to squeeze 2 casts out let alone dealing with the pet lag issue, makes the whole thing more convoluted than it needs to be. Just have one Ahk Morn per summon. play with potency numbers to make the change make sense. Maybe that will even have the fortunate side effect of making the move its self feel more powerful in dungeons since it isn't really that awe inspiring like Flare was in days of ol

Or just make him cast Ahk Morn automatically when he leaves. Actually they should do the same for deathflare lol
Tho we would need something else to not make SMN super brainded...

Death. Death is the most glaring issue. Loosing your stacks for da big-daddy dragon upon a death is a MAJOR weakness. No other job is totally wrecked like SMN is by a death.

Death flare should not end the DWT as bahamut does not leave the field when he uses akh morn.

Don't die. Also dragoons are.

How this will help exactly?

I just did a test in a dungeon and Titan-Egi takes literally no damage from AoEs, while Ifrit-Egi and Garuda-Egi die after 2 hits. There's definitely something broken here. Did they forget to add AoE resistance to Garuda and Ifrit? If they worked like Titan, the lack of Sustain wouldn't be noticable.

yeah i learned that again in d1s, d2s and current d3s progress - if everything goes well I share dps with our Brd but if I die, mess up Bahamuts timing in boss mechanics or have to help with (hardcast) ressing in progress phases I instantly lose 500-700 overall dps compared to her...

A knockout really hits us pretty hard : /

At the same time Titan egi dies really fast in solo combat so its strange that he takes no damage with AoEs.

It doesn't help that SE is not being very open about what changes were made to and how they affect the egi's. I was soloing some of the Binding Coil raids for WT and Titan didn't seem to take as much damage as I remember pre 4.0. I saw similar results on the hard mode Garuda, Titan and Ilfrit trials. However as you have seen in open world content a couple of hits and he's dead. Now this could all be due to the difference between 60 and 70 but it would be nice to not have to guess and have a clear answer.
