DEMON

Ya I just started whm and pld the past few months (whm lvl 60), and I dont really want to do every job, id rather focus on my smn whm and occasionally pld to be better at those than just ok at everything. (They changed smn so much im still getting used to it >< I miss my old smn  ) 

But same, I've always wanted to be able to craft anything, right now I'm getting leatherworker up to 50 to finish the athearial wheel we have in our workshop, want some free(relatively) FC buffs.

I can't imagine doing savage endgame raids. I spent 1000s of hours in Destiny/2 on endgame raides and I'm just done, id rather just relax, its too much for me now lol so major props

The new SMN is amazing at Lv80 though, it does so much DPS. I never really played SMN the last tier outside of PvP, but now I really enjoy it. My main's staying as DRG. The only other battle class I have up to 80 rn is DRK which I pretty much just use to run maps with FC.

I only been doing Savage with PUGs, I really can't be bothered looking for static as I don't like having to set aside certain hours to do raiding each week, I just do it when I feel like it. Currently I'm only running the first savage each week, I might move onto the second one when I'm more confident that PF can do consistent clears of it.

Ya I believe smn at lvl80 is great, but 2+ years of smn and only smn as my main makes me hate the new system at lvl 60 and below. Granted I understand they wanted us to use more than just ifrit or sometimes garuda, but what they implimented was terrible to push that agenda. They dropped its ranking in dps in general with all other classes because of it. Smh

Not to mention my muscle memory is is still attached to the old smn rotations. So I'm like ahgggghh lol

Yoshi P had a lot to say about smn and how it clearly needs working on. How or if it'll be better is up to them

Here's the transcribed statement from YoshiP regarding SMN of which he said the most out of all classes.

(I feel bad for ninja though, hear its just gonna get worse for them)

Q: There are currently a huge amount of things we need to do as a SMN and the job has become even more busy. Also, I'm very concerned about the aspect where even if I tried to refresh DoTs after Bahamut Trance/Pheonix phase resets Tri-Disaster cooldown and yet the DoTs get cutoff/falloff after several seconds. Therefore are there plans to ease down the amount of control we need to do, or trying to extend the DoT duration, along with various other adjustments?

Yoshida: 
Well, for Summoners, We tried making it better and managed to make the application of DoT timing faster with the deployment of patch 5.05, but even so we received many feedbacks that the job has became seriously busy during the interval...well...currently the most important thing for the development team right now is to discuss on how we should adjust the job, and currently the direction we are heading right now is that we are considering the option to extend the duration of DoTs right now but maybe it would work better to ease the job's busyness by eliminating the aspect of Ruin's dependancy on DoTs completely. It's just...right now we are currently conducting test cases on which pattern should we apply for the job right now so we would like you to wait for a little until we finalize our decision.
Therefore, the point of this topic is to decide whether we let Ruin spells have any sort of effect and we plan to implement them in advance coming patch 5.08 that we've mentioned earlier.

Although we do indeed think we may have overdid the busy feeling of the job and frankly we do recognize the degree of issues we have regarding the "busy rotation"

Not the answer I wanted, but at least they acknowledged problems, even if it's not the ones I wanted acknowledged

I could complain all day about how I miss my old smn ><

So I won't ><

Lali-ho teehee

A ghost!!! ...oh, it's just a Demon, welcome back.
