Thread: Fix Summoner Once and For All in 6.0 Please!

Although I was an advocate of losing the egis to only have summons, I now more think of getting more summons but leaving the egis be for those who like it, since they don't seem to be adding another pet job that could take summoner's place on that matter anywhere soon.

But clearly I want more summon stuff, maybe have ED and Dots turned into summon themed support to mesh the whole kit back up into two main blocks : Egi support/oriented kit when Egis are there, Summon support/oriented kit when they are out as a "burst" phase.

And not a mess of 4 unlinked blocks as it is now.

My wishlist : (a bit of a revert)
- Consolidate Ruin : lose the ruination thing. Have ruin 4 just be ruin 3, same potency, instant cast, but more MP costly. For movement phases and weaving.
- ED : have it give 3 stacks of primal ether
- Egi Assault : have 3 different (and not two) skills, with one being the dot to maintain. Put them back as oGCD. Using one costs 1 of the primal ether stacks.
- Trances : consolidate & reduce duration (10 secs), and condition them to 3 primal ether used (the usage still counted in case of death).
- Trances way of working : like Phoenix, changes the theme of your spells. Lose the autos thing, have 2 oGCD proper to each summon (but button shared) to use during trance instead. Have only 1 finisher to account for reduced timer, a bit more powerful than a single current one but not to the level of 2 of them (maybe something like 1k potency). Have the finisher different according to summon.
- Add a 3rd Summon. Have each of the 3 sumon have a special effect (Phoenix is the regen, maybe have Bahamut be a devotion, and Alexander be a DoT ?)

You would have every 30 seconds spent as 20 seconds of Egi time, 10 seconds of trance. The Primal Summoned would depend on the Egi used. So you could you know time the regen of phoenix, have Bahamut every 1 out of 2 on the 60 seconds buff window...). You could cycle through all 3, or use the same all the time.

Variety, meshing, not too long ruin spam down time. Would require creativity for all those "themed" versions of oGCD, finishers, etc... but oh well, one can dream.

It's just a wishlist, by no means a perfect idea.
