    If you played SMN, you'd soon realize there isn't much managing to do considering they've made many abilities either get reduced dmg to egis, or just not affect them at all. Oft times you honestly do not have to worry about it, esp with garuda. Contagion and radiant shield are the only two abilities one will often use, as the rest are either a dps loss or plain not worth using and it aint hard to use them once per minute. One can even ignore the AoE ability and it would go largely unnoticed as its low potency, small radius, and a 30s cd.

Also you gotta time your aetherial stacks properly otherwise you miss out on dreadwyrm trance. SMN is not an easy job. Easy to play but hard to master.

    I don't believe the OP has an issue with it being hard to master.
