Most Summoners have no clue how to properly AOE. The day you see a SMN Dots > Bane + Aerial Slash > Miasma II > Blizzard 2 spam in a dungeon, that's the moment you see one of the best Summoners around. Hell, add Rouse/Spur, Aerial Blast, and Fester between GCD abilities, and watch mobs melt. BLM may be king, but most are ignorant with SMN.
