    A Summoner has a lot more freedom to move, it's that simple. As a BLM moving means not casting which means it can accumulate to quite a lot of spells that are missed. Even moving a little accumulates over the long run. Summoners on the other hand when they have to move can use Ruin II. You don't have to spam it, but you don't lose DPS whereas a BLM you do. While you move as a SMN your pet is still attacking, your dots are still going, and you just have to use ruin II to make up for the damage. Black Mages on the other hand, when having to move, miss out on a lot of spells if movement is excessive. You can negate movement by using cooldowns and so on, but the options are limited. We do have AE which is a great move, but even when using that, you still miss out on spells casted. Summoner doesn't have this problem or it's much rarer because it spends a lot of time using ruin which can easily be replaced with ruin II. Fair enough, you'll have to apply dots too, but in comparison to BLM, it's a laugh, really.
