Easier? Dancer vs Summoner Debate

[SerephinaBlossom]

Me messing up my flourish window VS if i forgot to summon the knock off blue eevee.
Dancer is all about lining up timers and abit of RNG to get its Higher pot combo's if you miss timer windows the class gets clunky and you ever had good RNG where it just spits feathers at you good for POT but can throw you off.
Summoner is about actively going through two phases and summoning sets of abilities without a RNG factor to its higher damaged skills but you do have cast times but it has a set rotation and flow, which dancer doesn't have because of RNG (if we count the emerald and topaz phases as cast times i guess).
for newer players instead of one job recommend i just offer the easier in each category

Summoner is popular as it is a great class to begin with.

Both 2 different play styles and shouldn't be compared against each other in general tbh.

What makes a job/class easy:

1) Have few abilites
2) Short but few cds.
3) Rotation that dosnt change much and is repeated.
4) NO RNG

Smn is easier; untill your progging and can't move due to an RNG mechanic overlapping with Ifrit hardcast phase.., or your forced to break your melee combo, cause you cant / shouldnt dash

problem solved after the second attempt.

RNG makes Blm easier..., more procs

because you don't count on the procs, unless you force them

untill, you either realise, it makes a mechanic later down the line not add up with your movement.., or a new RNG mechanic bites you

on normal / easy content, Smn really is braindead ..,but that changes in hard content, shuffling primals & skills, holding out burst, using SC etc.

Funny thing is, this is true on most Jobs. No one needs a Savage opener, reopener, and optimal play to run...Crystal Tower.

in hard content it's even easier! In casual the smn could be interesting because you have people who don't do a certain amount of damage or the bosses aren't walking timers. In high-level content you know perfectly well that at minute x does this mechanic, there is no boss that does not have this feature. While it might vary (think p8s p1 dog-snake) the mechanic is so slow and well-named that it gives you a chance to even make yourself coffee before the mechanic actually starts.
the problem that the smn has, the DNC also has, furthermore the DNC, if the buffs have to be postponed, must think 4 gcd before to be able to drop its buff perfectly (because unlike the smn, which has an instantaneous buff that lasts half a minute, the dnc must first perform all the technical steps to have a technical finish).
