So like, we've had lighting tiles for quite a while now, and I feel like Firebird, a class that partially also revolves around placing tiles, should be able to place down said lingering lightning tiles with Cyclone Spear among other things and have that count for Ignite Power instead of Brighten for the purposes of Lightning Firebird.

In SL1 you could pretty much find every ingredient either by buying them or going to a specific spot, could that be brought back? I'd cook when I would be bored but now I can't really craft any food so I just sit afk in the vale. Would give more to do. Also bringing back some old recipes from SL1 would be nice like Cake for example I loved crafting those. I see players rp the things they cook, but never have the real thing because of how hard it is to find any specific cooking ingredient. Fixing that would allow trades of real food in approprate RP.

I miss the SL1 decor.

Would like to see the candy cane cloak and ear muffs in the dressing room. Should still have the old icons hopefully. Missed them when trying to decorate a new character idea.

For people who go AFK in battle they stare blankly at nothing. I suggest making a toggle skill in passive that everyone has to make the character auto-skip their turn when its turned on, that way it won't delay gameplay for others.

Just like with my previous Arbalest thread, I'm coming forward about a class I feel has probably been one of the most "old" classes that time has not treated very well, the last time GS got any major changes not related to balance was when it received the Dimension Resonance and Chain Unsummon gimmick that ended up being contentiously received at best. Even now its still got potential to just be an unfun to fight mechanic when a Grand Summoner has more initiative than you do.

I think that leaving the unsummon playstyle in is fine, you'd need minimal changes aside from adjusting the maximum possible damage it can do. I think that part of it's kit does work, but the rest of the kit is very bare bones and is clearly just outdated, even having pre-GR numbers still in the case of some passives like Spirit Regeneration or Spirit Well.

What I'd like to see from Grand Summoner's eventual rework would be introducing some mechanical AND thematic strengths to the class, here is what I think Grand Summoner should be from an overview:

• Great Offensive/Healing Caster
  
• Extremely High FP Sustain
  
• Decent Durability
  
• High Versatility
  

• Caster Class, Access to Offensive/Healing spells and Invocations
  
• Access to more powerful youkai, likely through tribute summoning, like in Yugioh.
  
• Tools to target specific racial weaknesses (Youkai/Possessed)
  
• May treat youkai less fairly and more like Tools
  
• Ability to chain down and possibly even subjugate other youkai into their possession (Including Wild Youkai most likely)
  
• HAM it up on the anti-summoner theming of the class, make it King Shit of summoner classes.
  

• Youkai hit needs a method in which it can be increased somehow, I want to look at youkai having around 220-230 hit if that is possible, or maybe increasing the minimum hit chance for them specifically.
  
• Giving Youkai a heavy Damage Reduction until they receive their turn, so that they have a chance to do something before their HP is exhausted, the low range of Summoning them makes putting them into safer positions much more difficult.
  
• Allow Youkai to unsummon themselves, no more tasking the master with this.
  
• Less emphasis on swarming, I don't think anyone really likes when Youkai swarming is good, we've seen this in Pre-GR, we've seen this in GR1, nobody likes playing against this. This is already encouraged by keeping the maint costs high.
  

Is it intended to not have Whynesfelt craftable when you read the book of paladins that give you the other elemental armors? Did I Miss something?

You can just walk through this spot.

Could orders last till the start of your next turn or something instead of ending at the end of the round? Currently getting value of them basically REQUIRES you to be faster than your group which can be hard in evasion groups AND culls the tankier tactician playstyle. (like BK literally has talent that helps maintaining tactician rank when taking damage but most of BK kit is tuned around having high defense and not that much cel.)

The entire structure here is un-dense and can be moved through.

This skill is a huge part of Shinobi's combination fighter arsenal, but as it currently stands it's extremely clunky to line up and use in conjunction with the rest of its kit; most notably, raging peddling wheel currently sends you out of range of Habari Tori if you use it against an opponent directly in front of you.

Can this skill have its range be adjustable from 3~5 (6 or 7 max if raging) instead of just being five range? There's a fair amount of situations where peddling wheel will leave you a tile or two away from your enemy which forces you into specific combo routes that are sometimes less than ideal
