We have finally come full circle, SMN's need help!

blms army is like "infinite mps" "infinite dps" "infinite and huge aoe damages" they don't have anything to worry about and just zerg without thinking at what is going to happen next.

Please Flare, I know you, I know you're smarter than this, and you know that is not true, and almost the exact opposite. Every single good Black Mage, and honestly - every good player in the game - should know exactly what bosses are going to do next. Black Mage especially as they want to minimize movement as much as they possibly can to maximize damage output.

Summoners do fine up until the moment they run out of MP. That's their one and only problem abilities wise. Which could easily be solved by making Aetherflow and Energy Drains give more mana and raising the mana cost of Scholars spells a little bit to make up for the increased mana. Perhaps lowering egi accuracy to caster would be a decent buff to, too give them a slightly better set variety in gear.

I think you misunderstood my quote, I'm sorry. I wasn't stating that blm can be totally "brainless" against any fight, my comment was directly pointing to blm mps management, which doesn't exist at all.
As a blm and like any other jobs in fcob you will care about your movements and what is going to happen next, it is obvious, meanwhile as a "stress-factor-bonus" for smn you have to perpetually think about your decisions on your mps management and it is somehow doable... Till it's no longer the case and no matter what you do, when the mp factory is out of order and your Aetherflow still got 30 secs before being ready......... This is what I feel :
