I fully intend to go attack once I get him ranked up a bit. I did go for all the first rank abilities though, mainly because the AoE cone attack at rank 1 tank could be helpful for small groups and for keeping hate and Choco-regen seems helpful for it and me if I'm on a job that can't use a heal and not a class (which I probably shouldn't do anyway for soloing).

I played SMN last night for the first time (in a week) since I got my Garuda book and the result was surprising, not just for me but also for the people in my FC: SMN are a beast dps.
We were doing relic quests last night, I thought I was going to slowdown things a bit since I wouldn't be on BLM (with relic already), but how I was wrong. Dhorme Chimera, Amdapor Keep bosses, Hydra and Ifrit were diying so fast. I didn't think much during Chimera, but when we killed the first AK boss before the huge golem reached us (having a PLD tank), I knew something was up and turned on the parsers, FFXIVApp and FXIVLogRep2, both to compare if there was any dot inaccuracy.
I know for Garuda I won't be able to perform that well due to the lack of aoe damage for the feathers, and the 30s cd on Fester might just barely cut if for the sisters, but as far as Garuda goes, I'm sure it will go down way faster than before.
Can't wait to do Titan as SMN.

Does Hard mode Garuda still summon the feathers around here before spreading them? If so. Keep your debuffs up and Bane it as soon as they appear.
Summoner damage is definitely far too underrated currently. It has problems of course but it's still not that much of an issue.
Ran Titan for the first time earlier, with all randoms from the DF. Wanted to slap someone after that. The DPS and healer kept eating the frontal AoE attack, and the healer would proceed to blame it on me. Then he kept going to the very edge when Titan would jump, and would constantly tell the DPS to do the same, each time even though I would tell him not to.
Gave up, formed a GAF group and cleared it with no issue on first try. lol

Got past Dhorme Chimera in the Relic quest, thanks to help from gaffers. Also got a pair of Ifrit's Claws on my first ever HM Ifrit run. XD
And I don't feel bad, because I spent a shitload of time trying to get them in 1.23.

Yup, that's what she does, and that's actually a great idea (as BLM i use Flare when the feathers appear) but I'll have Bane ready for this moment.
Death & Taxes (Some of the people from the old famous WoW guild of the same name) have been saying they are top DPS, at least in Coil of Bahamut.
Edit:
As someone whos debating leveling SMN since its always been one of my favorite classes in FF games and I love the aesthetics of the AF armor.... What is the Summoner rotation like at 50?
yeah, on the Leviathan server anyway. Every time I'd move, one group of players would pop in and the others would vanish lol
Now if only Odin wouldn't disappear every split second @_@

As WHM, what other stuff from the other mage classes should I learn?
Best decision and reasoning.
See thats one thing I dont like about it being even more popular now than XI was in its heyday. Gilsellers were bad with bots, but now this is nuts.
I guess you need a token for EVERY online game these days. Except Torchlight heh.
I hope i am not steering you too wrong since SMN is my alt, but it seems to be keeping Bio 2 + Miasma + Bio + Thunder (in that order) and Ruin/Ruin 2 for filler with using Aetherflow charges to use Fester as long as the right DoTs to do full damage are up. I'm not sure if the opening rotation is the same though, since Bio 2 lasts much longer than the others. I'm also not sure about DoT clipping for best times to reapply, or what situations to use Miasma 2/Shadow Flare in. i really like using the Shadow Flare as SCH for the slow though.
And i had a sneaky suspicion about SMN's sustained DPS being high (that is extremely common with DoT classes in MMOs) but again, that's not a major concern of mine at this time unless they are too high or too low, which i really don't think is the case. It will, however, be quite amusing if it causes a bandwagon effect after all the preliminarily whining about SMN dps sucking (no offense to anyone who did).

Just had my first bad pug queue. Was Titan HM (lol) and this PLD did nothing but make fun of everyone's gear and stand around trolling for 30 mins, no one wanted to leave because of the 15 min wait. People then resorted to MPKing with Titan for about 15 mins. Good times.
I had a somewhat irritating AK run. Apparently not cleansing some of the diseases immediately = not cleansing any diseases for the whole fight. Despite the majority of the ones I missed being due to either los issues while trying to rez the new-to-the-dungeon BLM or running away from the group with orb targeting. It wasn't what wiped us (that was the first time I had ever seen the 'final statue change, and the second time both BLMs were up the whole fight, even though we won).
I can't explain why, but when folks needlessly over-exaggerate/complain like that like that it makes me quite annoyed, especially when they press the issue, then are like "well, I dont reallly care but" (yes you do or you'd shut up). I have little messages showing when I remove the status effects, damnit! /endrant

hm...I feel a bit like a scrub healer 
Was doing Toto-Rak for the first time and I couldn't, for the life of me, keep the tank (or the group) alive on the second Coeurl. Dispelling the tank and another party member, and the tank was down to 30% and focusing on just the tank, I couldn't keep him up either...
Not sure if I was doing something wrong, but even on trash mobs, he kept going down to 50% and I struggled to get him topped off again

Focus on the tank. If the DPS are dying, it is their fault or the one of the tank. You're only to blame if the tank dies. But he shouldn't be losing that much health that you can't heal it. I don't think I ever got into trouble health-wise during that dungeon as a tank. One of you was probably underequipped or you were moving too fast through fights. I tend to wait a bit so my TP and HP can recover between fights.

As a healer myself, I usually find it's the tank's fault.
I've been in dungeons where the tank's health plummeted on trash, and I had to use my strongest heals just to keep him alive.
Then I run the same dungeon again with a different group and the tank's health doesn't drop nearly as quickly. Making for a much more relaxed time.
Blame it on people not fully understanding their class and being undergeared for the instance.

Yeah, I find a lot of tanks are too hesitant to use their cooldowns on trash, or blow them all at once instead of staggering them. Most of them come back in a minute or two, so it's really not that bad to use em on trash.

If the tank's HP is dropping to 1/2 in the first few seconds of the fight, he/she is likely undergeared. If their HP drops enough so that you need a big heal right away and you pull hate from the mobs, it's almost certainly a gear/skill issue on the tank. They should at least be able to collect and position the mobs before healing needs to happen, even on bosses (assuming you are using all of your available tools to ensure it).
As for DPS, they should not need very much attention or they are pulling aggro or standing in things they should not which is also bad. Help them if you can but your priority should always be the tank first (and yourself of course).

Is dialogue dynamic based on how you play?
For instance, if an NPC says that my progression is rapid - is that for me specifically or is that canned dialogue?

Not sure about that exactly but I know the npc/enemies in one dungeon say different things if you have a female in the party.

That's awesome too, though
There's occasional dynamic text, which apparently varies by language too. (In Japanese, the Camp Dragonhead commander really, really likes Mi'qote, for example.) For obvious reasons, until someone figures out how to extract the text we won't be sure how common it really is.

Ul'Dah has nice music, at least
I think I'm writing the macro wrong but I tried both and neither work. I want to have a macro that uses Rampart and Foresight one after the other. Both are instant casts.
/ac Rampart <me>
/w .5 and 2.5
/ac Foresight <me>
Both only activate the highest skill that's off cooldown which isnt what I want. Oh yeah, also Convalescence at the end.
What's the name of the shield so I can search for it in the market?

Man, I just did a random Castrum run out of boredom. I feel sorry for the people completing story mode at this stage of the game. Too many people trying to "speed run" it.
Just healed the level 15 dungeon as a THM after out extremely stupid CNJ died for the 5th time and left. If i ever got low on mana i spammed Blizzard to get it back. GLD died during final boss while I was closing the second ripple on my side so me and the LNC finished it off. The boss chased me around til the LNC killed the other add and then got aggro on the boss, then it was gg.
I had one crappy heal but it was spammable and my MP was unlimited thanks to Umbral Ice. it was kinda funny but I NEVER want to do that again. I just won't heal at all since that apparently encouraged them to keep going in the first place lol.

Why can't people even dodge Titan HM first phase attacks?
It's so simple.
Lag, watching a castbar, pc too slow, on a ps3 pad, poor control setup, bad ui layout
Or is this a rhetorical question?
Blackthorn
"hello?" "this is vagina"
Jesus Christ gold sellers have become next level obnoxious. Before I could at least avoid general chat, but now they're spamming my tells as well until it's just a wall of them. I don't want to have to turn off tells as well, it's a pretty vital feature.
Have the developers said anything about fixing this? It's directly impeding gameplay.

Wow run a HM Ifrit as PLD in a PUG
No BLM ,we have no AOE, still destroy the nails, I help peeling off and do damage on middle nail, count to 15, return to Iffy, Shield Bash, return back to nail, remove 25% life of it
By the time DPS join we destroy it
We win BLM Cudgel drops
I ask that I have 50 BLM, some SMN Greed loots it, says they passed, I lot for Greed, they win and go, "whoops, forgot to pass..."
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!
Seriously SE a 50 SMN can greed lot the damn Cudgel just for shits n' giggles, while I have a 50 BLM and need it, how can this fucking be?
They need to fix that shit, it's not hard to program by who has the best level for a weapon that drops off Ifrit
Shit is starting to piss me off
I go as BLM, PLD sword drops, I go as PLD, BLM stuff drops, COME THE FUCK ON!
What the FUCK, should prioritize by level of who can benefit first from it
