Throwing the tome: 4.2 Summoner Feedback

[plasmacutter]

I main sch but I cannot stress the need for decoupling pet group buffs from the pet's GCD queueing system or at least offering a /pac clearqueue_and_execute_the_next_command for macro use.

I'm so.. so.. SO.. SO... SOOOOOO tired of hitting a whispering dawn macro and having the thing go off 15 seconds later (literally).

There used to be "tricks" you could use to clear the queue like add a half dozen pet stance changes but that apparently no longer works so it's just legacy garbage.

This has been going on since ARR, but now the pace of combat is so rapid it cannot be ignored any longer.

As for the rest of the feedback: I really LOVE summoner casting archetypes no matter the game, but the lack of cohesion and keyboard mozart rotation has really turned me off of SMN.

Smn really needs work to make its play flow better. A rotation that differs between 3 phases is actually pretty neat, but the contention and sheer number of hotbar items required to transition in the current setup is arduous.

well since macros for player skills sucks 99% of the time as well... why would anyone use them for pet skills at all? They are already less responsive without an extra macro-cutdown q.q
