Hey guys! I'm just looking for some general advice/support or chats on a few things. I am a returning player. I have pretty much always mained summoner and AST up until 70.
I like the new changes that were made to SMN since I last played. However, the struggle comes with rotations and openers in this game for me. I am very used to WoW classes where the guides list a general skill priority. Everytime I look up a guide for summoner, it lists a 50 button opener and 100 button "rotation"... (im exaggerating, but you guys know what I mean). It really is a lot to fully remember that many skill sequences. Is this normal to feel.. Idk. bad at the game? I never knew I was really even playing SMN "Wrong" until I looked up guides and saw how insane weaving with cooldowns are.
If anyone has any advice or input please feel free. I really don't know what I'm looking for. I just feel so discouraged everytime I get onto my SMN bc I know when it comes to "guides", I am doing it so wrong. Yeah, I know the basics. Use aether, go into trance just to fuel buhamat, then try to fit a lot of insta-cast spells in for him. But I find myself using Ruin 3 a LOTTTTTTT more than guides say to. So I know im wasting a lot of potential.

- Is it absolutely essential to follow those strict openers and rotations to a tee, or can I still play fairly casually and make it pretty well?
- Is there anyone here, or a guide that can REALLY tell me the "goal" of a summoner during its rotation. That is what I think I need in order to wrap my head around it.. With BLM for example, it seems so simple to me. The goal is to use ice, enoc, spam fire, repeat. (essentially). But even a dumbed down version like that helped me grasp BLM rotation so fast. I feel like SMN is my favorite class, but that I am almost forced to play my second favorite BLM since I just cannot understand the goal of a SMN in it's rotation...
