I do not see how a feeling i get while properly optimizing dps on a smn equates to a mnk literally not optimizing dps by only flanking.

Because if you feel like you have that much downtime on SMN, you clearly aren't making full use of your cooldowns on SMN.

I mean sure it can be like that in 4 man content, but in EX and coil I'm always super super busy compared to everyone else

A rotation may make it easy to go "oh that's next" but that's nothing to do with the difficulty in playing a job.
The difficulty comes in up-keeping that rotation at all times. The positionals and monsters that turn constantly and bad tanks always make this the challenging part of playing the job. A BRD doesn't have to worry about that, and just has to throw in off-GCD abilities between on-GCD abilities, or as everyone seems to love calling it "weave" your abilities. Here's a newsflash for you too, every single DD class "weaves" their off-GCD and on-GCD abilities, It's nothing special and specific to BRD as people seem to think.

If this is a troll, hat's off to you I fell hook, line and sinker for it. If not, it seems from the lodestone that you need to actually play every class to 50 and have experience with end game before spouting an opinion that spans from lack of knowledge. On the flipside though, if that's an alt, "WAT" comes to mind.

That is you and your feeling. That is not me and my feeling. You're seriously trying to argue what I feel and use that feeling to try to refute....what exactly? Not making full use of my cooldowns? i clearly stated I know what to do to optimize playing smn, and that does not remove my described feeling. You're assuming my feeling = not making use of my cooldowns b/c you're "always super super busy." No. That just means you feel super super busy playing the class.

As someone who actually plays every DPS in top end content, if you always want a simple and easy time comparative to other classes, the answer is Bard.

I find summoner to be very easy and not that difficult at all. Any person who has played a warlock from wow can easily learn to play this class at its best since they're not very different from each other.

As for my order:

1: MNK
2: SMN
3: DRG
4: BLM
5: BRD

Ive barely played the top two simply because i dont appeal to it and it seems very confusing managing the class later on. DRG all it is keeping up your buffs and dots and making sure your enemy is already weakened (piercing res.) before using your jumps. BLM its simply a rotation with one dot. I've seen BLM 50's who for whatever reason just spam blizzard 3 after a few fires, which im guessing is so that they "never run out of mp", i hope isnt what Tharian is talking about. Its literally a class where you waste all of your mp as quick as possible and gain it all back while applying dots and buffs...
