Machinist vs Summoner vs Red Mage vs Reaper

[MikkoAkure]

How new are you to MMOs and keyboard or controller? Cuzz everyone likes to call summoner easy because really small amount of buttons which is a benefit on controller, However to brand new players caster classes can be hard, you have to plan your movement out to really move as little as possible to increase casting uptime & you have to utilize slide casting and generally people that have never played a MMO struggle understanding these concepts early and their DPS can suffer from it. Frankly for somebody that's brand new and never done any MMO I would suggest dancer or Machinist.

SMN only has 3 actions in its entire rotation that have casting times, which can be cut down to 2 with swift cast. SMN has similar freedom of movement to ranged physical DPS at this point and even SAM has more casting time in its rotation than SMN does now.

SMN’s rotation is also much easier to figure out than the other casters because the buttons change into the spells you’ll be using for that stance and your bar lights up with what to do next.
