news on beastmaster

[Roda]

Summoners that don't summon? What are they gonna do, just throw bios and miasmas out? Might as well change the class name to Patient Zero.

A lot of people have been asking for a smn that pushes a button that causes a primal to do an attack then disappears. (kinda like how the reaper avatar is described as behaving) Or a constant string of demi phases.
I'm personally not a fan of that being the sole identity of smn, or the idea of having the same design philosophy as brd w/o the procs to make it interesting, but it's what some people want. (Pls SE, don't take away my carbuncle buddy )


But if beastmaster MUST be a limited job (please no, I love pet classes and there's no reason why we can't have more than 1 (dps one at least)) then I hope they change the concept of limited job from "job you change to that can't play the game like rest of the jobs" to "job you can engage with along side the job you currently are." Something like an expanded chocobo companion system (for beastmaster at least). Maybe I could tame monsters in dungeons (along secret paths instead of the one hallway) and use them in the open world to quest with my main job. Maybe have pokemo- I mean.. beast battles with people in the open world to train our pets and show them off (kinda like triple triad duels). Have a beastmaster (or rather limited job) toggle in the duty finder that allows us to do blu-like shenanigans runs where it limits our (regular) job actions and only lets us use beastmaster and pet skills, otherwise we would get a message like "the aetherial disturbance in the area prohibits your companion from heeding your call" for beastmaster and if they do something similar for blu "the aetherial disturbance in the area blocks your blue magic" to say "lol don't use a limited job here". Something that enhances the experiences that we already have and adds a little on the side, instead of walling off the stuff we came here for and pretending like the side is enough.

It has to do with all the quirks of SMN and SCH. Fairy scaling poorly, the delays on Fairy Skills, Bahamut still lagging when coming out, so can't Ahk right away and have to time it, pets not getting their attacks off, even when goes on CD.

that would break ffxiv if they remove summoner pets and scholar pets i hope they won't do that

Currently summoner as a job is reaching somewhat of a breaking point when it comes to the overall play mechanics, so we’ve halted work on Egi glamour for the time being in order to shift focus. There is a reason behind this, but we can’t share the details with you at the moment. When the time comes, I’ll be sure to properly share that information with everyone.

doesn't sound like remove Egi because if they where going remove it they would say we ending work on Egi Glamour yet they said we halt mean they stop at the for time being to begin again at another point

halt is different for complete ending pets sound like yoshi p planned keep summon it be stupid and horrible complete remove Egi because that make them no long summoner or scholar might well change they name to something else then

Wouldn't break anything. Like I said, was just a rumor though. And SMN and SCH do fine in PvP where they have no summons. Someone posted a video explaining why it could happen, maybe even being a good thing, lemme find it and will edit the post.

Found it.

Now, I'm not saying I want this. What I want, is I use a skill, the skill goes off, period. No more lagging behind, no more ghosting, no more skills used and nothing happens due to bad timing, ping, pet not keeping up, pets being unsummoned due to elevation changes or platform changes or zone changes etc etc. But I am fully aware my favorite DPS class and Healing class, may change drastically. So I am ready just in case.
