It's been a while since I've played SMN, but I don't think that there's an "easy and relaxing" rotation. SMN's rotation is a little complex (compared to other casters at the very least).

If you're looking for an "easy and relaxing" rotation, I would suggest playing RDM (if you want to stick with a caster, otherwise DNC is also easy and relaxing) instead of taking shortcuts as SMN. It doesn't really lend itself to being that easy going.

if you want easy and relaxing rotation you should go for RDM iam afraid.

BLM - easy but not relaxing, because you will need to have your eyes open all the time, watching the foul timer, your mp, your position, incoming aoe, etc

SMN - relaxing but not easy, simply put if you mess up the rotation or the usual skill order, you can end up "playing piano" for a while (at least on my case)

RDM - easy and relaxing, all you do is just skill 1+2 and skill 1+3 until your gauge is over 80, do the combo, repeat, thats it.

Go into palace of the dead from floor 1 and empty hot bars, learn the skills as they come. By the time you get to 60 you will know the rotation, it doesn’t really change much after that, just added perks.

It doesn’t hurt to read the descriptions in you action menu either, but starting from scratch is the best bet to actually learn the job.

I would that if they couldn't grok it the first time they leveled from lvl 1 then doing that again (accelerated) might not be helpful, but that's generally a good tip for classes that start at higher levels and/or boosted classes.

That would be good to make sure they don't have the anxiety that comes with being in a group and not understanding your job though. That and command missions.

Nobody learns a rotation correctly by adding actions one at a time from Lv1. Most jobs don't even have fleshed-out rotations until 60.

The principle of Specificity of Training says the training needs to align with the desired outcome. If you try to learn a job with an incomplete action set, you're going to put the buttons in positions that don't make sense later when you have more actions that need to fit together in certain ways, and you'll develop bad habits that you'll then need to spend time unlearning at higher levels.

Read your tooltips and place every skill you can place in order. That's what I do for jobs I pick up - For example, picked up WHM and placed every single skill, based off of reading the tooltips, into places where i'd know i can reach them, or places where I know i'll be more likely to click on them versus use a keybind for them. Same w RDM - I put verraise on my hotbar that doesn't have keybinds attached, because it's where I click versus where I NEED to have a faster reaction time (so vercure is attached to a hotbar with a keybind).'

That being said, reading your tooltips can only do so much - summoner is a difficult class to master, and you've got to just practice with what works best for you. Go to a training dummy and practice your skillset there, or go to lower level dungeons where the stakes arent as high.

I think SMN itself needs a lot of help first.
