summoners are fine. could they be better? absolutely.

ive cleared final coil and can do each turn hitting 410-430 easily (merged) with dps spikes close to 650 (pots, raging, enkindle). im never pulling the groups lowest dps number either. i rarely dip below 900 mana. i know i could increase my dps by 10-30 if i was spazzing out and using ruin 2 every chance i could as well as going in for auto-attacks, but then i would require mana song (lowers group dps) and crowd the melee dps and offtank.

410-430 average from all dps jobs at the end of an encounter is enough to kill all bosses in the game with a smart warrior and scholar pitching in (which is to be expected in decent raiding groups)

dps would be higher without all the spell speed. otherwise, playing a tight game will allow you to pull in good numbers. in the end, smn is fine. the current fcob fights arent particularly summoner-friendly but who knows what the alexander raids will bring.
