Why Do People Complain About Summoner?

[Music4Therapy]

What if instead of preventing lockouts they made the class derp-proof by preventing the use of Aetherflow entirely while DWT was active? Removing lockouts would substantially nerf the flexibility of the class and could possibly screw the timers of SMNs.

Summoners work in phases. You activate Aetherflow pre-pull, activate Rouse, go into DWT asap (it takes 5 GCDs minimum), finishing DWT phase > Aetherflow > DWT > Rouse > Aetherflow+Bahamut > DWT > Rouse > so on and so forth. If Aetherflow is back up for some odd reason when you are ready to enter DWT (shouldn't happen, but in the very unlikely case it does...) then you can make use of the free tri-disaster reset, end DWT early with a Deathflare, then either enter Bahamut if that is ready OR use the stacks then enter DWT again asap. If you entered Bahamut, as soon as Bahamut is over you can then use the free tri-disaster you get from entering DWT before your previous tri-disaster falls off.
