As it is now, there's not much you can do in a team as SMN but cure and give half-assed buffs.

Hastega on a 90 SMN is BETTER than Haste (it lasts 2 min longer with capped Summoning Magic), magic attack and defense as well as evasion and accuracy buffs, you can give monsters pretty big attack down and evasion down debuffs. But this isn't a Summoner thread so I won't go into much detail, Summoner has been and currently is a pretty big supporting job in a party situation (not to mention the actual avatar offensive abilities are pretty strong if you can play the job correctly).
