In every fight, you know when the adds are going to show up, so you can be totally ready with your Aetherflow, Garuda cooldowns, and other things when they show up. Flow your rotation, cooldowns, and MP management to be optimal when youneed it.

We have tools. Make use of them, and we do very well.

SMN is fine. You say we have MP problems, but we don't. You manage your MP and it's fine. For some reason you think we do bad DPS if we manage our MP well and do a nice sustained rotation, but we don't. Our DPS is good. There's no reason to buff us because our DPS will get even higher, higher than it should be. Like I said, we do have some MP issues on certain fights (T8, T11, *maybe* the end of T13) but if you manage your MP our DPS is still good. Every job has fights they suffer on, but again, they don't go on the forum complaining for buffs because of a few different fights they do slightly less DPS on. Like I said, I still push top DPS on T10-T12, only losing on T13 to a Monk. Why do you want to buff Summoner?

The ONLY reason we can give why our DPS is not even better than it is right now is because our itemization sucked this patch. That's just poor itemization, and even then, like I said, our DPS is fine right now.
Sorry, but your group must be pretty bad for you to think these things. If you, a SMN, are pushing top DPS in every fight, your other DPS are flat out bad. SMN is easily the weakest DPS in the game right now, even behind BRD, to address the OP.
