I fear for Summoner

[Sanguisio]

lol these threads make me giggle.

A few points
-SMN does provide sustained dps
-CDs do overlap providing you pop them in order and maintain your rotation
-While optimal rotation does starve you off mana, you can drop a few ruin2s to help stable yourself i've seen alot of smns get caught up with just running around and using ruin2. At the end of the day smn is a caster, and you should be doing your casts in the same manner as a BLM; timing is crucial. Make full use of S-steps to get around instead of running and ruin 2 spamming.

-In the case of the SMN the pets need an overhaul. Now the issue is ACN works perfectly as a the described DOT class it is. SMN is supposed to be a pet command class with ACN foundations so the only way to make it play as described would be traits but they are also linked to SCH. It would be great if they could just alter the traits like 'Main & Mend' to affect the pets via multiplier which shadows the SMN or have it so when the soul of summoner is equipped a multiplier is applied to pets.
