It doesnt say much, fflogs basically proves that the class is playable in all content. And while the damage is lower than its other 2 counterparts, it isn't actually as under-powered as people make out.. Take a fight like Neo exdeath. the top 5 summoners have the damage of the top 15blm/rdm. This damage is still more than sufficient. I personally dont believe the SMN problem is the damage.. I would like it to play better, but i dont really have issue with the rotation either.. I think the biggest problem summoners face right now is Mana & recovery from death.

There is a really simple change S.E. can make to resolve this, but this is not the place for that.
