And no, it's not something that could be done on any job, not to the same degree of success at any rate. The present SMN one-button macro chain needs a specific range of SpS to not innately drift just from the few places they couldn't prevent clips. Thus, any job with semi-random procs (BRD, BLM) or more nuanced optimization can't be one-buttoned to the same degree of effectiveness. People could always macro their rotations - the real issue exposed with summoner is how close to the skill ceiling one can get with a near-automated (just add mashing) setup.
The point is that people are claiming that its a single macro when it isn't that is where the misconception and the lie lies. Saying its a one macro button press has given rise the erroneous belief that SMN rotation can be fit within a singular macro which is wrong. Incidently, i'd like to see how this macro fares with savage and more difficult fights than extreme 1 - because while optimisation is rather low, and does need improving on smn, there is some optimisation that the macro cannot account for. In terms of blm they can be one buttoned, but i agree that it would hold the same effectiveness.
