it sucks to not get 500+ at the end of the encounter but we can still get in that range during add phases.

might not require much attention. maybe just better gear.
Better gear that response is the reason people complain about the Summoner because it is entirely gear dependent not based on skill like other Jobs. Every Job can exceed the dps check with the minimum gear requirement except the Summoner. If the Summoner fails to get coil drops their dps will suck hard compared to other Jobs with the most basic gear.
