And then SMN players suffer migraines because controlling summons is now primary when they already feel terrible to command in this game.

And I'll have to correct you that SMN is barely a DoT job anymore with a handful aspects of it cut down as expansions go. The devs have been trying to put more focus on the summoning aspect with Demi's, and Phoenix is what the other summons should be like.

Personally I like the mix of both the summon and Summoner doing equal work but if it's not anyone's style then XIV's SMN is simply not for you.
