Believe it. Aside from healing BPs, SMN doesn't get any baylds.
I've done some reives trying buffs BPs only (such as haste, stoneskin, enspells or fenrir's stats), i got nothing.

You said we could still use our avatars offensively. We still get no baylds. SMNs have been complaining enough for offensive BPs lack of power.
Forgetting about dealing damage with BPs only, I tried hitting on a root with a staff, double attack gear and Ifrit's favor. Shitty baylds again.

Healing BP is all we have. And it's not as easy as you make it sound, because we have to compete against other healers and smn.
You said your gain dropped down as soon as smns appeared in the event. I have exactly the same thoughts when i see a bunch of whm joining. It's a two way street.

I wish SMN could operate in its natural state. The deal is SMN natural state blows, and we're deperately waiting for SE to fix it.
Until then, we finally found something we can get benefit from. But i hear ya, i guess SMN hasn't been nerfed enough so far.

Speaking of unbalanced event, could you even name 1 or 2 events in the whole game balanced for SMN?
