SMN Rework/Update Pitch

[rawker]

A simple solution is to change just the skin of the 3 basic primos. Keep the same power and effect, but change the skin only.

So with bahamut you summon the 3 original primos, with phoenix you summon the 3 new ones.

Ifrit > ramuh
Garuda > leviathan
Titan > Shiva

Garuda and leviathan are close in visual terms, tornado and wind vortex > tornado and water vortex.

Titan and shiva > replace the stone attack visual with ice

Ifrit and ramuh > change fire explosions to lightning

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

If more primals are to be added but will not have anything unique to them other than a mere button/animation swap, it will accomplish nothing. The joy it will bring for seeing a new animation will not last you for approximately 2 years.

With EW BLM, even though you were still doing Blizzard 1/Fire 1 as part of your rotation, you have to at least do something to unlock Paradox. There's nothing like that with EW SMN... If each Primal had a specialization, like what the egis used to, then we're talking.. and with DT coming along, I hope the macro used to do the 1-button SMN rotation can fit Solar Bahamut so it will not be ruined so it will serve as a reminder to whoever thought of the rework be haunted of the atrocity they have made.
