Don't bother Alhanelem.

Anything Dallas says is his viewpoint, and what he thinks is good for SMN is his choice. His viewpoints about how everyone else should play SMN is incorrect though, but thats besides the point.

As for him saying that MAB atmas are worthless for SMN, spirits or otherwise, is incorrect. As Malamasala said, Spirits are just retarded BLMs, but MAB atmas are the atmas of choice for those who use spirits exclusively. Don't know why they would use them exclusively though. Attacking them for using them isn't the solution though.
