Thread: Summoner 6.0 Rework (my reimagining)

Going to post this here. Had an idea while doing a lvl 50 alliance raid. By no means am I a developer of games so bare with me. Tried to rework SMN while still keeping some of what we already have.

First the Ruin and DoT aspects.

1. Ruin spells would change. Ruin would grant you Ruin II. Ruin II would have a 50% chance to turn Ruin into Ruin III, and Ruin III would grant Ruin IV.
2. Bio and Miasma would work the same. I think when you get Bio II they should also upgrade Miasma into Miasma II.
3. Keep Bane how it is.
4. Make Fester and Painflare share a CD, maybe learned at the same time, and be on a 30s or 60s CD, but no longer need Aetherflow stacks. Maybe keep the 2 charge system.
5. Outburst can be kept.
6. Make Tri-Disaster work like BRDs Iron Jaws where it just resets both your DoTs and is on the GCD instead of having it's own CD.
7. Energy Drain / Siphon removed.

Now the Summons

1 Egi Assault I and II removed. Enkindle, Enkindle Bahamut, and Enkindle Pheonix removed.
2. Summon I now only summons Carbuncle for an oGCD attack.
3. Summon II now only summons Ifrit, which now works like MCH's Queen pet for single target damage. It does it's own rotation, and at the end does a big attack that now grants Aetherflow. It has a CD that is shared with Summon IV.
4. Summon III now only summons Titan for an oGCD attack.
5. Summon IV now only summons Garuda, which now works like MCH's Queen pet for AoE damage. It does it's own rotation, and at the end does a big attack that now grants Aetherflow. It has a CD that is shared with Summon II.
6. Dreadwyrm Trance merged with Summon Bahamut to become Bahamut Trance which takes 2 Aetherflow charges. Bahamut does his own rotation and ends with a big attack. While summoned your Ruin and Outburst spells change to new spells. At the end Dreadwyrm Trance becomes Pheonix Trance
7. Pheonix Trance would work just like Bahamut Trance. It now takes 2 Aetherflow charges and Pheonix does it's own rotation ending with a big attack. Would still change your Ruin and Outburst spells to new spells. At the end it becomes Bahamut Trance again.

I think this would allow for the Devs to Upgrade the summons into new summons, or add more Demi summons since they would work basically the same and just be new and flashy.
