We get Alexander and Odin....FINALLY!!!!
http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics/ff11us/detail/5298/detail.html said:
Summoner
Two new long-awaited avatars, Alexander and Odin will be added. Both new avatars will appear and do the summoner's bidding only when Astral Flow is in effect. Be aware, invoking one or the other will automatically initiate Astral Flow, the effect of which will end upon the avatar's release. In accordance of their introduction, summoners will become able to use the "Astral Flow" job ability even when no avatars have been invoked.

Avatar: Alexander
Uses "Perfect Defense" to reduce damage sustained by party members and prevent status ailments.
- Damage reduction and resistance rate will vary with the summoner's remaining MP.

Avatar: Odin
Uses "Zantetsuken" to vanquish all foes within the area of effect in one fell strike.
- When used against NMs, will instead deal damage.
- Amount of damage dealt and accuracy will vary with the summoner's remaining MP.
- More monsters within the area of effect will reduce accuracy.

Thoughts and comments? HELL YEAH!!!

Kind of hard for Odin to be an avatar if he's an Einherjar boss. What's your point?

Hmmm, Odin automatically kills mobs or deals damage...

SMN burns using Odin for faster kills and higher chains...

SE making it easier for us?

Problems with Alex and Odin........ We can only use one of these punks every 2 hours! And they will only last as long as are MP does... as soon as you run outta MP or unsummon they will not return till your 2 hour time does ... Just a heads up... Ive been speculating a LONG time with my LS mates that we were getting these 2 avatars so today I will get to say I TOLD U SO!

Happy Days!

He probably doesn't. Since you can only call him in during Astral Flow, I bet he just uses "Prefect Defense" where you call him out then he goes away.

Smn? Most powerful?
When I was playing, I only saw like one or maybe two Smns ever in endgame, lol.

And SAM is overrated. I don't see what the big deal is. Even with the +25% piercing bonus on Greater Colibri, I still outparse them on DRK. ON DRK. And I'm not talking about some lame Domaru SAM or anything. A friend of mine has perfect polearm gear (Including Mars' Ring) and he's a good DD and all but what's the point if you're still only ~75% as good as a DRK that still TPs in Black Cuisses?

If that's a fancy word for an HNM mob then I don't know anything about that.
Even then I feel these two "Astral Flow onry" moves are just for wiping little mobs or doing non-elemental moderate damage to one.
