Summoner needs a quick fix too

[Vespar]

If you aren't owning things on SMN and are running out of MP midfight, you are doing it wrong >.>;
My hubbies summoner tends to out DPS most other DPS when he plays it since he makes full use of his dots and manually controls his pet. With all the dots on a monster he is easily able to chew it down very quickly, add to that the ability to bane monsters and spread the damage to nearby foes, and its almost broken. Knowing when to use your Aetherflow abilities (Fester, etc) and when to recast Aetherflow is a crucial part of understanding how to effectively play Summoner.

Playing Summoner effectively requires you to manually use your pet and manage your MP effectively. You cant just half-arse it.
