Starting to play Summoner. Help?

Go play Black Mage it's less of a headache and does higher DPS then the Summoner.

Yes, my bad. He does indeed have the i130 book.
I did not take into account that it would matter in the context. That said, our similarly geared BLM only often leads by 15-20 dps and is even equal on some turns.

Unfortunately, all of those numbers will be in the mid 350's with an i110 book and i110 gear. A similarly geared BLM should be putting out around 370-380. And a i110 geared melee can do 420+
