Ifrit-Egi makes me sad

[Trayes]

It makes me sad that Ifrit is now a Pokemon. He is just a little pet. Where is his size? I am not saying he should be HUGE. I am saying he should look his part. I swear if I see Titan and he is 2 feet tall I am going to flip.

There have been videos/images of Ifrit, Titan and Garuda for awhile now. They are all miniaturized. If you actually read up on Summoner, they are not controlling the Primals in any way. They are harnessing the essence of their power which materializes into a pet form. They essentially ARE Primal Pokemon. Titan looks like a smaller yellow/gold version of himself, so I guess you will be flipping. Although I enjoyed the avatars of XI, having the summons be smaller does reduce on-screen clutter, especially for things such as FATEs. The Primals are also much more detailed and having a ton of them on screen following characters around could be resource-intensive for some people.

Summoners felt powerful and cool in FFXI. I just feel like a pokemon trainer right now. These are not even normal sized pets. They are mini. I know its dumb but it kind of kills the class for me. I expected to show my power in my pets. I dont get to cast fire novas or giant stones or anything like that. I cast dots. I have nothing flashy.

Your flashiness will be with ENKINDLE!

hate to break it to you, but Enkindle isn't that impressive at all >_>

Dunno what SE thought; 300sec CD on Enkindle when a BLM can spam Flare for more dmg and lower cd.And yes they can "spam" it (Flare) by using Convert/Hi-ether >_> They really need to either up the dmg on Enkindle or lower the cd. Summoner feels really underpowered atm. even their pets does silly dmg ._.

Wow you are just killing all my hopes and dreams of this class.

Sry to burst your bubble, but its true, Enkindle is really meh :P Flare looks good though ^^ Made a Thread where I'm asking to buff Enkindle, hopefully it would catch their eyes :P

It's okay. I was just hoping to be like the summoners of old. I will get this guy to 50 and then switch focus to my Dragoon for DPS.

I have noticed our Ruin damage is SILLY low. I feel like our spells should work something like this.

Ruin: 100 potency, Increases the damage of Bio, Bio ll, Miasma by 10% for 10 seconds.
Ruin ll: 80 potency and +10 for Bio, Bio ll, Miasma.

At least that gives both skills a reason to be used. I think we are one of the few classes that get a skill that makes us almost never want to use our base attack again. This is just a base example and is not balanced in any way. It is just an idea. I think at some point I am going to make a ACN/SMN feedback thread.

Yeah I agree got summoner to 40 now I am really questioning why I picked the class in the first place if this is our damage the pets NEED to do waaaay more damage than they already do now.

same here.....i have problems in dungeons because i have 0 burst, and lots of bosses need to kill Adds or u are going to die.....and u need to move while bursting , what i can cast on the move....let me see...a dot (lol) ,and the energy nuke that its limited by charges (2 atm) ......and ruin 2 does crappy dmg , is our main nuke and does half the dmg that stone II does (yeah the white mage nuke does more dmg .....)

the pets does poor little dmg , and has skills that are on looooooong CD (ifrit aoe 30s? come on)

when i see Drg , monks , thm , bards and even warrior/gladiator killing way faster than me .....


The arcanist is new and have not been tested very well, but i feel gimped , dots do little to nothing , my main nuke 2.5 cast time does half the dmg that other 2.5s nukes (fire ,stone, even blizzard) , i have 0 burst , my pets does crappy dmg , the only 1 worth it is titan and because can tank (in dungeons u dont want titan but oh well)

well i going to hit 50....because im half way there (37) and dont want to reroll now having no quests to level up.....lol

ppl ask me hey how its summoner? i feel embarrased to say that im the most worthless dps in the game , can i kill things? can i finish dungeons? yes but i guess when ppl hits 50 and notice how little dmg we do.....we are going to have hard time getting partys....

Hope SE can toss SMN a bone , just boosting Ruin can help a lot.
