Summoner

Lore

"The beast tribes of Eorzea worship and summon forth beings known as primals, among which are Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan. Yet what is a god to one man is a demon to another, for the city-states of Eorzea see these beings as a grave threat to their collective survival.
In times immemorial, there lived mages who had not only the power to summon the primals, but also the means to transmute the primals' essences, thus binding them to their will. Known simply as summoners, the existence of these men and women and their arcane art have been all but lost to the ages." — Game Description

General Information

Summoner is a spell casting job that specializes in the summoning of Primal-egis in the forms of Ifrit, Garuda and Titan. The ability, Summon, calls forth the spell casting Garuda-Egi. Summon II brings forth the tanky Titan-Egi. Summon III allows the player to summon Ifrit-Egi, the melee damage dealer. Wielding books, Summoners have all the abilities and traits of Arcanists. Primal-Egis spawned by the summoner are smaller versions of their Eorzea counterparts. They can also use all the cross-class abilities of thaumaturge and archer. The most important stat for the summoner is intelligence, which increases attack magic potency. The level of your Summoner is equivalent to that of your Arcanist. Summoner acquires the Ifrit-Egi at level 30, Titan-Egi at level 35 and Garuda-Egi at level 45.

Requirements

• Level 30 Arcanist
• Level 15 Thaumaturge
