No it is not,

It is you misunderstanding just how little RDPS a SMN actually puts out.
SMN has only one party buff and its 5% damage for 15 seconds and that's only once every 3 minutes (CD). Ifrit no longer has the Damaging Shield to other players anymore.

By Contrast the Red Mage Embolden (increases RDM Magic Damage, and other players Melee Damage)... starts out at 10% for 20 seconds... and decreases by 20% every 4 seconds. Its CD is 2 minutes.

Summoner simply does not put out enough RDPS at this point to be significant as a "buff others" job and it is not significant enough to do what you are saying.

But it doesn't take long to look through a lot of logs to see SMN RDPS isn't much different than its ADPS at this point.
