Thread: SMN & MCH buff in 4.06 on 8/8 ??

looks like SMN and MCH getting yet another buff in 4.06..... hopefully it will be a good one. MCH has it pretty bad... my friend was so shocked that we got a MCH in our expert PT last night... "I thought they (MCH) are extinct"

Japanese Source

anyone else know what the buff might be?

Sustain is not the issue of smn. It's the overall flow during battle. while other classes play smoothely, smn feels like a rock you have to push with almost a single spell, over and over again to get to your goal. He doesn't need only sustain... more like an overall tweak or also a rework in some aspects..

Edit: I expect only good news guys. from where we are now, it just can go up IMO...

SMN egi's die awfully quick now. As a healer, I get a lot of thanks of keeping the Egi's alive but yeah, it's much needed as a SMN.
We can live without it as a SCH but there are times where I miss it but it's not a MUST HAVE especially when we heal and the faeries can heal themselves lol.

And mine doesn't. I can understand the need of sustain for some people but the smn needs other changes tbh. Like for example I move my pet around when I see aoe is incoming, BUT this results in dps loss, clunkiness of the pet, not even responding to skills used, and if used the mob is most likely dead and your Enkindle probably on CD. THIS has to be changed. I really don't mind if they would get rid of the pets, create new summon skills where egis fight on your side for a few seconds, executing their special abilities, without your orders. Because this whole system slows down the smn's dps. Like Demi Bahamut for example only with other better looking summons.

Edit: And about physik : I really never use that skill. If the smn would have more opportunities killing some groups faster and NOT locked to aetherflow, or even single targets with example a better aoe GCD than this shitty tri-bind (whoever created that skill, get another job) - you wouldn't need a tank pet. More opportunities to burst results in no need for some trash pet that tanks your mobs or a healing ability, which is useless.

I feel the power, flow within me. Yes, Yes..

9999998 overkill. Squirrel has died.

I think it was mentioned in the article that some changes will require more time from what people were translating on reddit? I wonder what functionality changes they have in store if that is the case.
