Most of the people commenting on how SMN DPS is, don't actually play the class or they haven't actually done good comparisons.

I also think it is important to note that SMN isn't like MNK at ALL, SMN starts with a high burst then slowly falls off until they reach a plateau.
The Summoner has a slow ramp goes into high bursts then slowly falls off until it reaches a plateu. If SE wants to make the Summoner sustained they should reduce the cool down on Enkindle to 60s that way Summoner's have a way to climb out of the DPS plateau.
