I'd really like to look like i'm aiming my shots instead of casting them and I have all but forgotten about those two slots taken up by reduce monsters physical or magical damage by an insignificant amount for an insignificant amount of time.

Apart from that after I gave up the idea that I thought I was going to be a buffing class I quite enjoy playing as them.

For dungeon running I play with a summoner and we clear the mobs out serious fast.
