Hey guys.

I'm a SCH main, but I prefer the SMN playstyle over the other dps jobs. If SE ever decides to split the stat allocations, I'd like to take it up as my dps job. However, having said all that, I'll have to admit that I have no idea wtf I'm doing whenever I'm asked to come as SMN to help for dungeons.

I understand how people would expect me to "know" how to play SMN when they see me at Lv48, but I've been SCH the whole time since it was accessible. I know my dmg output won't be as great because of how I allocated my pts to MND, but I'd still like a working idea of how to play the job.

Basically, my questions are:
1. What are the ideal summons and rotations I should use?
2. What cross-class skills are ideal?
3. How badly will my overall dmg suffer from having all my pts in MND

If older threads already exist and cover my questions, please post them here, so I can get more info. I kinda skimmed older posts and may have failed to see them. Thanks in advance.
