Summoner is a Final Fantasy 14 summoner (not a warlock wow clone)

Anyone who says BLM doesn’t have mobility clearly hasn’t touched the job since 2.0. They’ve added so many mobility options to that job.

6.0 SMN is interesting though, in that there will be times when you’re more mobile than the other casters, and times when you’re slightly less mobile.

This is already the case.

And SMN is losing instant cast Ruin 2 so your mobility is going down the shitter.

[Roda]

Our mobility is not going down the shitter since we only have 3 presses of long cast spells +1 1.5s ruin3 cast. Everything else (outside of summon carby) is instant. Our mobility is going up drastically now that we can move during a demi summon without it deciding that spinning around in place is more important than wyrmwaving. (AND no more hard ruin 3 casts during bahamut!)
(If you found yourself spamming ruin 2 outside of very specific mechanics, then something has gone horribly wrong)

I am a little concerned about that part in the Lazzy video where he states that titan has the best DPS. Part of the charm of the Job now (whether you like the class as a whole or not) is deciding which summon to use when. If the strongest summon is also the one that doesn't have to worry about cast times or movement (either your skills moving you into melee, or your opponent moving out of your DOT circle) then it becomes the defacto choice in any situation, with the choice of the others being when they aren't the worst, rather than when they are the best option.

Obviously this can be fixed with potency adjustments, but it is worrying.

Titan appears to be the highest DPS of the 3 but he's also more button presses than the others. You get 4 attunements and 1 slipstream from Garuda, 2 attunements 1 dash and 1 slam from Ifrit, but you get 4 attunements and 4 rock claps per summon.
You can still move them around depending on encounter but in a dummy boss situation, if you're lining party buffs, Titan wins out slightly over the other 2

BLM? With Slidecasting, Triple, Swift, Leylines warp and Aetherial Manipulation warps, and instants with procs and Xenoglossy? BLM by far has the most mobility of any of the casters. BLM will be fine.

Ummm...no. while BLM is certainly more mobile than rdm, it's no where close to smn. Even in ShB

BLM mobility can only last so long though. It has its limits. Those limits are just really high

Bahamut/Phoenix
Titan and Garuda phrases
Ruin4
All summons are instant
Ruin3 is a short cast to allow more movement than slide casting

So yeah definitely more mobility than blm still
