Afflatus Misery requires WHM to take damage to enhance Cura's cure potency, which had the potential to replace curaga as an mp efficient aoe cure. For esuna to work, you have to get hit by the ailment you want to cure for aoe erase. Pretty much requires you to take some kind of damage or ailment to actually work. Save for Afflatus Misery for Auspice and the fact that it's used in more than one way, Scarlet Delirium concept works the same way.

And DRK.... not a glass cannon? You've not met a Tarutaru by the name of Faceless.

First of all your main job is SMN, so how do you know how drks feel? We just had our best spells ripped from us...I have never seen ANY job get there best spell ripped from them...How would you feel if drks got Odin, Alex and Atomos huh?? Yeah I said Atomos, because we just got Absorb-Attr on 9/19/11 and its already been ripped. So if drk got Odin, Alex and Atomos, how would you feel about that?

LOL Do you really have to ask? The advent of several BLU spells and SCH sucked a lot of advantage away from SMN in aoe buff area. Right now the only buff that we still have that hasn't been replicated yet is Hastega, but it's pretty relative to SCH's new 2hr, embrava. (Edit in: Also, a lot of buffs SMN can use are replicated through BRD and COR buffs as well, in tandom Garuda got Fleet Wind, which pretty much takes directly from BRD's chocobo marzuka.)

DRK already took Odin's lackluster thunder with the Twilight's Scythe's latent ability to cause instant death.
Alexander's perfect defense? A weaker, yet aoe version of PLD's two hour ability.
Atomos... isn't even out yet. The abilities is speculated based on the WotG story fight in which Atomos is summoned and used for.

It isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.

Circumstantial Ad Hominem fallacy. It doesn't matter what job people play most in this game, we aren't incapable of empathy or understanding a simple position like this.

I said it was technically similar, but what I had in mind was the charge system (one hit being recorded) being exactly the same, and how it boosts Banish potency. Ultimately, the point was that complaining about the particular things he was complaining about was as absurd.

It still is absurd. No Puppet is ever going to be as useful as a Dark Knight at doing what a Dark Knight can do, unless the Dark Knight is terribly geared. Pets and NPCs never manage to cast spells as good as properly geared player characters.
