Rydia was a black mage/summoner hybrid and that's why she had bio. You missed my whole point about the job system and true summoners for a "gotcha moment". It's like saying that dragoon needs white wind or self-destruct because Kimhari was a dragoon/blue mage hybrid and he had those spells.

I also didn't say that egi assault didn't have an equivalent, I said that it's not a loss. At least to me, weaving those assaults in my rotation isn't compelling gameplay, it's just frustrating.
