I've been mostly playing by ear and really have no idea if I'm even doing it right.

The other issue is that the lack of pet tanking made the lvl 60-70 SMN job quests extremely difficult. It required chocobo companion, titan shields, and potions to complete and I still died a couple times. I'm not sure if they retuned these quests to compensate for the lack of a meatshield Titan.

Overall, I'm tempted to go back to RDM but I told myself I'd get to 80 on SMN and main it this expansion and I'm sticking to my guns for now.
Don’t do this to yourself lol I’m over here wishing I was a RDM main currently and wishing I wasn’t so invested into SMN as my class of choice. Our job is a disaster on release like it was last xpac. It isn’t just busy it’s a complete mess with nothing synergizing well...dots are all clunky as hell and don’t time well with anything, Bahamut has gotten worse cause he can’t be locked into place by ogcds.

You are constantly weaving the crap out of stuff Clipping into Ruin cast, I still don’t get why ruins potency is still crap, we are now the least mobile caster, which is wrong. BLM is currently outclassing us in every kind of way besides raise but guess who outclasses us there? RDM. so there is just very little gained for a lot given currently:/
