SMN - Most Glaring Issues

[Neela]

Bahamut, Devotion and Bane are out of discussion since weeks... don't get your post at all to be honest. the main problem is that with all the effort of being perfect just rewards you with avg. numbers compared to way easier dds. thats why people complain in the end. if it would be possible to deal 6k+ dmg on a perfect rotation or skilllevel (like the 5-6 top tier on fflogs at 4k atm) than nobody would question the cls-design and aetherflow mechanic. but as long as you have to be that focused to deal mid dmg without even the chance to deal with the big players - people should discuss about that.

there are two official statements from SE both seem smn excluding...
1) All jobs rota should be easier to close the cap between casuals and elite (SB-Interview)
2) More effort in certain cls' should be rewarded higher than on other cls (Before the live-letter)

so where do u see smn in both intended statements? both points should fit but not one of them does it atm at its current state.

I think they should just make PvE SMN just like how it is on PvP where you only need one Dreadwyrm Aether cost to Summon Bahamut. I guess that would help a bit with the AoE and overall damage. Maximizing Wyrmwave is still a pain though.

+1 for that ^

said it several times by now – giving the pve profil the same changes smn has in pvp - it would be way more fluent ya ^^
