[QUOTE=Shriex;5371896I'm only level 66; does the job start to go downhill or something?[/QUOTE]

I'm lvl59 and it seems the same way too. I think the issue is that the leveling process for SMN is really crappy since the job is so focused on a huge several-minute-long rotation that requires a plethora of trances and summons and whatnot, so the rotations have to be changed now and then as you learn new summons. I'm no expert tho so I might very likely be completely wrong.
