Summoner needs a quick fix too

No, it really does not. The testing I did showed me that the damage difference between 270 det and 343 was literally 5-8 points off the minimum and maximum, and everyone claims Det is the end all be all for MNK due to auto attacks and the reduced delay between them. And that is merely BECAUSE DET is weighed in at 5.6-6 points of Det is equal to 1 STR, MND, INT or DEX. Main stats far outweigh secondaries.

Once again, not the same thing on SMN. Why do you think so many SMNs hate the current gear set? Because the class depends quite heavily on it's secondary stat spread (Crit/Det) whereas other classes tend to focus more on their main stat as the fore bearer of their damage. If it was as simple as max int, get good damage on SMN, no single SMN would complain about the gear set at all. What works for BLMs / MNKs /DRGs, does not translate to the same thing for SMNs.
