How I would Rework SMN

[Endariel]

Quite frankly, I want less emphasis on the summons and more trances.

It's a really great concept and shb was a step in the right direction with fusion between trance and demi summon

Same here. I'd even rather... ditch pets entirely. Have burst phases with Bahamut and Phoenix, and have a filler rotation where we would cycle through "Trance Garuda, Trance Ifrit and Trance Titan". Pets just won't work with annoying queuing, stubborn AI, ghosting.

I was personally not too keen on the trances, but the fusion with demi was a good idea.

The only thing that I think is a bit awkward is the demi summons desire to follow you, giving me instant casts but penalizing me for actually moving? Make the demi a turret that stays where he is summoned.

Personally I would have liked a "primal trance" where your current pet gets the demi treatment and the Summoner gets some themed abilities for the duration, with the cap ability merging Bahamut and Dreadwyrm trance.



I'm kinda bias though, I just don't like Phoenix that much...
A: he was the sub-boss before Bahamut.
B: we were supposed to never speak of him again.
