Why is SMN DPS so high?

I also don't always cast shadowflare, I only do if I know that the boss will stay at place for at least 12-15 seconds. titan is a good example, demon wall. etc.

yea, for Garuda I only use it in the start and when the Eye of the Storm phase happens. For Demon wall does it still damage him when he moves forward since he's so fat? wondering if I need to recast it every time he moves or if I can just leave it.

Yea I only use energy drain after ressing people because my MP takes such a large hit, or if I've been doing Ruin+RuinII combos as filler inbetween Festers. ATM my gear is SLIGHTLY outdated...(AF chest and head). I didn't want the Darklight Cowl because it didn't give crit and I am prioritizing that as my second stat, will be getting Summoner's Coat soon and HOPEFULLY Vanya's hat with crit materia. What do you do for Garuda Plumes or Titan tombs? just general stuff that needs to be bursted down ASAP.
