Which part of summoner's rotation am I meant to find satisfying?

None of it, except in pvp. (Where it reigns supreme in high player count content)

SMN was the first class I actually maxed. Even learned some savage content with it. Then, the rework hit. I go from a slightly complex rotation to needing like 6 buttons. I went from trying to hit max Ruin IV stacks before summoning bahumut while keeping up all DOTS on multiple enemies using aetherflow to who gives a F about that crap? Push the summon buttons, push the attack buttons, and pretty much hit skill ceiling.

Had about 10 minutes of fun with it, then I realized it wasn't really possible to improve my gameplay with the class. I couldn't really mess up unless I died, but that's a really shitty bottom line...We already had an easy mode DPS class, dancer. You wanted pretty much no skill required? Play dancer and link with the other DPS. We don't need multiple high skill floor/low skill ceiling classes.

...I realize this is all just a rant from me. But as someone who loved this class so much to play savage content with it (as casual player), it still makes me mad how dumb they made it.

It was in remembering ruin stacks that I realized how broken SMN was before EW and how I actually stopped enjoying it. I realized I left this job behind for well over a year and enjoyed jobs like RDM more and got into tanking and back to healing again.

I'm curious: How did you enjoy a job where you seldom used one of your pets, if ever? Using Titan for anything was generally frowned upon, mainly for its inability to generate as many stacks. Pathing was a problem. The trances had a lot of gaps in between. DoT spreading sounded great, but the damage wasn't even there.

We're better off just doing straight AoE damage and always using our full kit (all summons) and having full control of our DPS. I'm not saying it's perfect. There's definitely room for improvement, but it's way better than what we had before.

Are people just upset that more people are actually enjoying it and that special feeling of being one of the few to tolerate it is now gone?
