wtf with all this hate to summoners?

[Nikita]

I find summoner useless for demon wall. I ran it two times however how am I supposed to apply DOTs to the bugs if I am constantly moving? Also forget my pet. My pet is absolutely useless during this. I focus on myself trying to survive rather than my pet.

The same way a black mage casts nukes and a healer casts healing spells? Demon wall is easy, just strafe left and right, you have several seconds to cast. SMN has an advantage over BLM in that your DoTs are still rolling while you are shifting left and right.
