What Changes Does New Summoner Need?

[Saimeren]

I like the new Summoner. I feel like an actual Summoner now. I like the changes you suggested.

Instead of being forced to summon all three, you could have 3 "summoning charges" which could be used on any of them. You get three summons of any kind and then head into the Phoenix phase.

I like the idea of having the Primals out the entire time they're summoned. I don't necessarily need more OGCD's because the instant casts feel good as it is. But allowing us to summon the Primals on OGCD's is a good idea. Otherwise we have an entire GCD where we're can't deal damage. Sure, the damage comes after the Primals summoning animation is complete, but having them not be tied to the gcd would be nice.

Ps. That second poster sounds like a child. "Whah! My class is different now! I'm going to unsub because everything else is boring!!"

Simmer down my dude.

Edit: I thought of a suggestion of my own. Lets make Physick work.

At L32 the Summoner could get a trait that either replaces the spell altogether which will allow it to scale off of intellect, or give us a trait that increases the potency to 8,000.

Currently a Summoner's Physick does 20X less healing than a Scholar's. So just increase the potency by 20X (400 x 20 = 8000) and there you go. Fixed the problem.

(I said L32 so that way Summoners who have been using their heal since they started wouldn't feel left out. You could have it later on in the 50-60 range though, but Summoners might feel cheated if they had a heal then lost it only to get it back 30 levels later.)

Paladin and Red Mage both have heals that scale with their primary stat. I want Summoner's too as well.
