You are correct, I was angry at you, and did miss that part. PD: I used it a few times in Delve, when it was still newish, and I've used it some of the Story elements where I was alone. Like the Gargoyles. >_> Which caught me off guard... A whole lot. But I've also use Altana's Favor a few times when things went south too. I've worked hard to make my SMN better, and I know I've got a long way. And I feel that are argument is more from difference in play styles and misunderstandings of expectations. SMN has amazing potential, which has been my hope for the job since the times of my gimp /WHM healer days in Valkurm Dunes. By no means, are the ideas I've proposed the end all, be all, I even said so in the very beginning. That is the reason there is a forum, to open up for discussions of ideas and improve upon the collective pool as a whole.
Just to clear up some things, I do have JP in Astral Flow, but only 4. I've focused most of mine in ACC, MACC, ATT, and Favors.

Nothing too impressive by any means, but SMN hasn't been my sole focus when it comes to things. I've been bouncing between PLD, BST, BLU, and GEO. With the odd hits here and there of all the other jobs depending on what people needed. I don't know what it's like on your server, but Sylph has been really quiet for the most part, and it was only a few days ago, that I managed to join a more active LS, so maybe I might get other things done that I've been missing. I'm working on the Laughing quest in Adoulin for a better earring. My lucky with the Helios gear I do have has been awful, so I might put that on a lower rung until I can afford more stones >_>; But all in all I have put work into SMN, and I do play it, I just have to take some detours to get it done.
