Thanks for the polite reply! Usuall when I post something like "Hm, I don't like how this job works because ot X, Y..." I'm met with a lot of vitriol around these forums. It's refreshing to see someone wanting to discuss in a polite way.
About the EAs, make sense... When I try to roll SMN, is mostly using Ifrit, as I prefer to either tank or heal when going 4-mans. I don't remember details about why, but I do remember finding EA's much better during the time they were oGCDs.
I actually never thought of Physick to build limit break gauge, lol. But in the end if this is such a marginal use, and they don't want it to be viable to begin with, why not just nuke the spell already? Maybe because they don't have means to do so without removing from ACN (as it's a healer role pre-30)? I wonder if they'll go forward with separating SCH and SMN for EW. They would probably have to create a new healer class to precede SCH and shift ACN to a dpser... I wonder if they consider this worth the effort, since the whole "class" concept is something quite outdated for how the game changed across the years.
Now that you mentioned, yeah I agree that is the Bahamut's presentation that feels outdated compared to Phoenix. With the latter you get old spells converted into these amazing fire-based ones. Visually making you look like as in a trance possessed by the Primal you summoned. Dreadwyrm trance (or the summon itself) doesn't achieve this cool transformation, other than letting you use Deathflare one time.
One thing, if Egis stay as a regular pet after the rework, I hope the Egi-Glamour is not just 2 new colors of Carbuncle. As much as I love those little things, I think they are quite low effort, as they are just recolors. I'd also love to see other glams... We already have ingame models for other Egis... But yeah, pulling from your EA points, it would be really weird to see, for example, Ramuh-Egi using Garuda's wind abilities, coming to think about it.
