New summoner is unacceptable

[SieyaM]

Anyone have any idea how much of new Summoner's damage is tied into upgrades and additions between 80 and 90? Multi-target damage seems fairly okay, but single target seems to be lacking a bit. Particularly compared to say, Red Mage. Am I just imagining things, or does Summoner's single target feel kind of lacking? I'm only level 81 right now since I'm still slogging through post-ShB MSQ content. Is Ruin Mastery IV, Elemental Mastery, and Enkindle going to make that much of a difference in damage over a Red Mage who's also at the 80 range?

I have only run dungeons with SMN so I can't say I notice much about single target but it certainly seems to me that AOE is incredible. Packs of mobs are melting down faster than I remember before Endwalker.

Aye, because new Summoner simply has a lot of AoE spells now. All of our Summons now have AoE, we have enhanced Tri-disaster AoE... it is pretty nuts. I'm more or less afraid of new SMN only being an AoE-bot now. It feels like its single target is meh, and if its actually lagging behind why bring SMN when RDM and BLM exist? Undoubtedly we're just going to have to wait for the dust to settle to see what's what, but wanted to know if anyone else had any opinions on the matter.
