SMN mp needs sorting out

[Crevox]

Using Energy Drain isn't optimal DPS, using Fester is.

By optimal, I mean performing as much DPS as you can given the situation (low MP). You can still push out great DPS even losing 150 potency from Fester.

Did you really think you had to correct me on that?

No, I wasn't actually correcting you. I was pointing out that Fester does more damage than Energy Drain, and then went on to explain how having to choose between the two for MP purposes is exclusive to the SMN job and results in lower DPS. Bottoming out by just using Fester will also drop your DPS. Thus SMN has MP issues that hinder their DPS and make them a really bad choice for t10/t11 in comparison to the other options available to fill their slot. Which is a problem, similar to DRGs, and I feel should be fixed. Sorry if I came off as antagonizing, I was just trying to use your point of "Energy Drain = helpful" to explain why SMN is in a bad spot. I wouldn't say SMN is broken, they're just in a really horrible situation in the current endgame raid which is really disappointing for everyone that mains SMN.
