SMN needs to be looked at by the devs and seriously tweaked in order to bring the SMN population back up or at some point in time it will become so small that they will be forced to make changes to the job in order to bring players to it.
It's simply because SMN is harder to play optimally and BLM has muh numbers. No amount of tweaking will change that without killing the way SMN plays. Hell SMN was already simplified when we lost Thunder. We're already a top DPS, outside of some QoL changes we don't need any real tweaking. Also the last patches gave us some of those QoL things we've been wanting, like Obey without a target and such.
