That's one hell of a typo. "Heavenly strike" and "predator claws" barely share any letters in common. =\Quote:
Heavenly Stike was a typo broseph
We're talking about everything a SMN can do. If a SMN gets in trouble, he can adapt and alter his strategy to survive. all a DRK can do is keep attacking.Quote:
Even still, we're talking about DoT, not kiting.
Do Relic, Mythic, and Empyrean staves lack utility?

2/3 of your potential damage does not benefit from MAB builds. ALL potential damage can benefit from a physical build. The gear is better too.Quote:

Without using Dallas' language, you really don't need RDM or SCH sub, or Minikin to function just fine on SMN.

Although if I find myself fighting against a worm, or something that needs kiting, I will consider bringing SMN out of the closet. -
06-13-2011, 06:33 AMLeonlionheartNot every SMN has Hvergelmir.Quote:

There isn't anything you can't kill with a few SMN in some way or another. -

Before Hvergelmir, there are a dozen acceptable staves to use with Spirit Taker. No, you won't be taking off all that perp gear anytime soon, but you will be self-sustaining. I recommend that 75 DMG, 2% haste staff. It's the highest damage/no work staff out there, as I recall.
The good/bad news is all SMN melee gear is suitable for all jobs. If you have a meleeing (anything non-traditional) you probably have the gear. -
06-13-2011, 07:20 AMLeonlionheartI know everything about the job, and this is in general discussion not the SMN forums. Hell my BRD is 18 but I know how to play it, how does that change my position to comment?Quote:

If your BRD is 18 you have no experience. Knowledge doesn't equate to skill or experience. (That being said, BRD is about the simplest job in the game...)
If you're not taking a job seriously, as you have suggested you aren't, then you shouldn't be participating in serious discussion on it.
Good for them. I'm not a MNK or WHM, so I don't care.Quote:
