I play Dragoon and just recently unlocked my relic on Summoner and have been playing it more. To be honest being in melee range is much easier in most fights because mechanics don't really target you. Tail swipes and cleaves just mean don't go in front or behind. If you are melee DPS you don't do that anyways because if you do get hit chances are you are going to die.

I have been enjoying summoner though and am going to switch it to my main most likely. Just need to get more used to these rotations and re-organize my hotbars because it seems like summoner has more situational buttons that need to be easy to access than Dragoon does.

Thanks for all the rotational tips this is pretty much what I try to do but I wanted to make sure I am not screwing it up.
