man, the current smn feels so bad compared to 4.0

This is the first time I've heard anyone say anything negative about the SMN changes. Most people seem to really enjoy the changes. Sorry you aren't enjoying them though. Maybe try out RDM or BLM if SMN feels too busy for you now?

That would be so much more meaningful if my battle retainers weren't throttled to my Summoner level. I've already moved RDM ahead in progressing story, but I can't just abandon SMN if I want my retainers to be able to level too. Maybe I'll give the SCH changes a try. At least they're both still running off of ACN exp.

You can say it's not for someone, but it's a low blow when you say it to someone who has been playing the job for years.

Low blow or is someone easily offended? Not everyone enjoys a fast pace job/class, and that is fine. Some do and I think this should remain an option for others. It is all a matter of preference and what someone may be comfortable with.

You don't HAVE to try and min/max a job and you can still enjoy it. If a job is fast and someone is struggling, just practice it, find what works for you.

I keep rearranging where all my buttons are, trying to make it work, and I'm not sure if it's improving the situation or just getting me more confused.

It's definitely feeling very "hit all the things!" and hard to work out the intended sequence. Reminding me more of bard than MCH though.
