OMFG. DIABLOS, OMFG!!!

[Kurp]

Ranged attack BP is going to be able to hit Tiamat/Jormungand in the air. :O

[thestalkmore]

this mean 5 or 6 new rare/ex items for people who dont care/dont want a diabolos pact too :Q_____

Fucking {word}.
P.S. Just beat Promathia :>

[MisterBob]

I bet HNM (and other mobs, really) will be able to partially resist the 2hr, reducing the %. Really, a 5% reduction on HNM really wouldnt be game-breaking, especially since it's a 2hr and not a <1min blood pact

[Lasitha]

5% can make fafnir spike flail tho...if diablos is not on the right position anyway

[Khelek]

Bahamut as second last boss in the new Dynamis areas mebbe? :3
one could hope...

[geno]

What i'm looking forward to with the 2hr, is seeing it actually break the damage records . Also, 5% is still rediculous. 5% on tiamat is like, what, 4-5k? lol

I'm guessing the strongest monsters will have some sort of % cap... at say... 1-2% (still good dmg I'd guess)

[Correction]

Hopefully the low-level pacts won't suck nards, like every other avatar.

It sucks to level another job to 75, kill Fenrir, then find out that for the first 25-ish levels SMN is nothing but a gimp WHM with a lot of MP. Even the skillchains you can open/close suck.

[Sekkite]

This may even encourage me to level summoner up someday soon.

[Sekkite]

This looks very interesting. I'm looking forward to the fights themselves.

[Bunshinagain]

wow.. im thinking of how strong diablos would be as rdm/smn; Which bloodpacts can i use

I cant even imagine how much this would help killing HNMs faster.. AoE Phalanx, MDB MAB...

Dream Shroud: Enhances magic attack and magic defense of party members within area of effect.

Well well, this could be substantial enough that summoners may have a place in manaburn parties (as support).

[Lordwafik]

This seems like it's going to be really amazing to the SMN world. No more "PLD cant tank this it hits too hard" Solution > Phalanxga

Faf/Nid/whatever is spamming wing and need to get that 20% off quickly ? > Magic attack+Defence bonus, let all the blms blow up on him, etc etc.


I have a feeling that SMN is gonna be a PLD's next best friend, i've always wanted to cast Phalanx or anything really on the PLD so they take less dmg(as opposed to stoneskin which wears off after a set amount of damage) and this is great. Less MP strain on the whole PT !

The only thing I feel sorry for it the low level summoners. I'm sure you are all going to see this happen, exactly the same when fenrir came out


PT leader >> Hi , exp pt do you need it? Lvl55-56
SMN >> Ok
PT leader >> Do you have diabolos?
SMN >> No sorry
PT leader >> nvm

This is the kind of thing that makes one feel vindicated in not being a sheep and jumping to WoW 8)

lol, let me guess. Phalanx gonna last 1 min

[Naobi]

OMFG............. i jus had an orgasm......

Finally, diablos.

Don't make this a WoW VS. FFXI topic...

Too generous. Phalanx will have the same power and duration as shiva's AOE ice spikes, effectly shaving off 1 damage and last 15 seconds.

Dunes will be Dragoons and Summoners everywhere.......
