Summoner Early Post-Launch Feedback at level 80

[HeulGDarian]

1)the mechanics are all over the place cause they removed the thing that connected them the old aeherflow rotation . sure our dots Don't have anything else for them going besides fester and bane but that's why they made ruin gain potency from them which is actually worse cause there are points where you have to hard cast due to tridi and trance having issues . bahamut has less functionality than an egi currently but pheonix doesn't and i hope and pray they take that road with bahamut on 5.1 . our utility is a joke i agree cause they removed it and everlasting flight is currently unusable cause the rotation isn't flexible . our ruin is our filler gcd so it makes sense for it to be but it's also cause our numbers are fcked . and we have less mobility cause again our numbers are fcked and ruin 2 is too much of a dps loss.

2)old summoner was a thing with emphasis of was a thing . i started at late heavenwards if i remember so i didn't play alot of it cause i was a small sprout back then and I'm grateful of its existence i was i am and i will forever be a smn main cause of that glamourless garuda player with miasma bio2 bio and miasma 2 (ignore the card saying drk i didn't know how to do it so i clicked random shit and now I'm too lazy to change it)

3)the problem with that is that why just one attack what could possibly one attack from a summon do besides only look cool . Demi's are like that and the way pheonix was designed makes it feel much better it is like a bigger more powerful egi it has 2 enkindles 1 devotion and transforms your ruins into 2 spells from it while also doing follow up attacks. not to mention why would such a thing exist while we have another summon out . only way to implement is by saying screw all of the summoner lore and design.

4)the problem isn't the hardcasts it is that we get punished too much for moving . we have to hardcast more than before which sucks but if we try to move we lose so much dps that also sucks.


look dude i agree with you we got ripped off everything that 4.1 brought to us was mostly taken away . our mobility, our new utility, our pet dmg ,the awesome feel we had during bahamut, our aoe . but that is just the devs plan backfiring this isn't a new summoner that lost his identity that's the old summoner being completely broken down . aetherflow now has no correlation with demi phase or trance phase .all of his cooldowns are now fcked hitting phases where they can't be used devotion hitting firebird trance , dots need to be hardcast much more often, being unable to get ruination on every ruin spam , trances and demis getting fcked by transitions , garudas own ea 2 with itself. all we can do now is hope that the devs keep the good ideas they had and revert the bad ones lets stabilize first from this trainreck before trying to run another marathon
