This potentially can lead to MNK and SAM having to fight for a spot since SMN's rDPS and aDPS are up there to compete with even the Melee. If anything, SE needs to check out their data points and make sure SMN isn't toppling over DRG or MNK in terms of damage and rDPS, since that's literally where we're sitting at right now in terms of what SMN can bring.
Note: Who remembers 4.1? Because this feels like it.
