SCH DPS > SMN DPS?

[Kevee]

SMNs however, have a DPS pet Which is barely higher then aero DPS.

Lol? Aero is going to do ~20 DPS. Pets are 60(min) to 90~100(for me)

However with all that said, they real question your should be asking yourself is, "Is Arcanist DPS higher then SMN DPS."
Internal Release, Blood for Blood, Raging Strikes, and Aero, on top of shining emerald sounds absolutely disgusting.

And then you realize ACN has no access to relic/AF2, can't realistically get the Allagan tome(so BiS is Garuda/Titan), has 15 less base INT, no Garuda(Contagion, mostly)/Spur/Fester/Enkindle. Also, you lose Swiftcast as a CCS because you need the 5 slots for CDs/Thunder/Aero.

ACN is probably lower, or equal, to SCH.
