There have been a ton of good suggestions, thanks for sharing. No one wants to raid with bahamut. He hides markers and it's just a pain. I'm standing behind the group like the kid who didn't get picked for dodgeball. My static doesn't want me to play smn, the death penalty and bahamut does not make it appealing for difficult content. Can you deal with it, sure. Should you have too, no.

Like others said, I don't think they'll gut the class. 3.0 was not classic smn but it was at least fun and more flexible. I just cannot get behind the rigidity of the class now. It's a bit of a snoozefest and worse yet is the glitch or clunkyness of the class. I may just be salty about some of the issues. However, playing other classes like Sam and Rdm that function fairly fluently, I see a lot of problems on smn. I've played this class for many, many years, but for now I'm waiting on fixes.

I love you summoner, come back to me and I'll dump rdm for you!

The reason you do a quick DWT opener is because having Aetherflow not on cooldown is bad. You are losing dps and backing your rotation if you let Aetherflow sit unused, mostly because you can't use Aetherflow during DWT / while you have bahamut aether attunement stacks.

With that in mind if your aetherflow cooldown is more than 21 seconds (15 seconds to use 3 festers + 16 seconds for DWT), you can execute your rotation normally with 3 festers -> DWT. Adjust the speed of DWT buildup and Deathflare accordinly so Aetherflow don't sit unused on your hotbars.
