Let's get a poll on this going, cause it's the primary complaint many SMNs who played the class extensively in Heavensward have. I want the community to show SE what they think.

Note: This is NOT saying we should remove/change Bahamut, or make any other adjustments to how SMN plays currently. Please consider only the lockouts when making your decision on the poll. However, this IS a critical reversion to how SMN played in 3.0, and it is worth discussing other changes alongside it with the player base as a whole here.

I personally believe this single change is critical to how SMN plays as a whole, and is necessary in order to balance the class long-term. I also believe Summon: Bahamut should have been integrated into DWT, with Akh Morn replacing Deathflare. As much as Yoshi-P disagrees, I think he should have stayed faithful to the rotation players adopted in HW, even if it wasn't his intention.
