I have never felt bored before when playing Summoner, now I do. And no, you still just need to go through all of them as most of the times your Bahamut or Phoenix will be on cd and its better to go through the summones than not. As on what you choose in order is for me solely based on how much mobility you need at that certain moment.

The biggest difference compared to the prev SMN to me is that now I am forced to use swiftcast whereas before it was a choice, so it is most likely that I will not have it for the ressing, that would be a good raid utility. But sorry team, I need to do dmg quick on Ifrit so no res for ya (unless it is a must)

I am starting to change to dancer. I am loving it.

I will start leveling another DPS soon, just in case to have something for raiding. Right after I reach 90 with my pali.
