they are the only thing that can out DPS the top end bards. That is why we used 2 summoners 2 bards for turn 4 in my guild and we killed it 2 minutes faster then the other guilds video showed them doing it in.
Numbers says it, not me... For example, im not lucky with the Ifrit Grimoire and i can do with the correct rotation more damage (me + garuda) (in single boss) than any other class with the ifrit weapon. At least that says the parser :/
Again parsers. Summoners swear by it and say it's accurate enough and has fixed DoTs. Other says it's bugged. WTB official parser...
Stop derailing my thread D=
I couldn't care less about the DPS, as long as its comparable I'm fine.
What I just want is a more interesting rotation.
Also, I wanted to ask people, how do you keep your rotation up?
Spamming ruin and keeping up all dots and using Fester, I start running low like 2-3 minutes in.

Bards. That's why every group has at least 1. The songs are incredibly strong.
But I don't wannnnaaaaa play my bard!
...Alright well, I guess that settles the mana issue, I didn't think a caster dps would have problems, and the point is moot for BLM anyway.
I was just kinda hopin =(
Anyway, make our rotation more dynamic!
<3 you too, Eckoh.
On the mana thing above: in a single target fight you should not run into mana problems. In an add-based fight where you have to reapply DoTs a lot you are going to have to use Energy Drain with up to 1/3 of your Aetherflow stacks. If Aetherflow bugs you are going to run out of mana and there isn't anything you can really do about it (happens to me sometimes).
I think some people are missing the point of this topic.
Why not...FOUR SUMMONERS! Kill everything before your healer ever need healing
Off topic: Maybe you are the type of SMN that ppl complain about because you're not DPSing affectively.
On Topic: I currently love the way SMN plays. If they buff it any more, people are going to complain that it is over powered.
I dont know if this is an effective way of tracking damage output, but in any boss fight that ive been in so far, I am ALWAYS second on hate even with a WHM spamming cures and a BRD as another DPS.
