SMN and Twintania

[Kevee]

The conflag part is the most insignificant of the phases, so I don't understand why you're stuck discussing it.

Dreadknights are pretty insignificant, too, especially with a PLD off-tank.

So then what is the point of this topic?

Because, certainly, it's not like it was Conflag or Dreadknights to begin with, right?

And it's not like you, and the other person, who continually talk bad about the SMN job, were completely proven wrong when pointing to Conflags, right? "They have 7.5s of ramp up time!"

No, they don't. Not for conflags.

"We're worse than all other classes/jobs at conflag!"

What other class/job can have 4 DoTS + 480 potency in the first second of a Conflag being up? Or, if it's a 1-charge phase, even 4 DoTs + 180 Potency + Pet CDs, and possibly RS/Enkindle? No one can match us in a scenario where we can bane to another target, because our single target damage is also our AoE damage.

Guess what? Even if we're worse off on Dreadknights, we're still providing damage on Twintania while we kill them--More than other jobs. It's not like our DoTs + SF just, you know, disappear when a dreadknight spawns. Even further, guess what? If we get stunned, we're still better off than everyone else because of our pet. While we're stunned, we still have ~20-25% of our DPS just chugging along, in addition to our DoTs.



tl;dr

Stop bitching about SMN. We're in an amazing place. Both in utility, and damage.
