    I don't get why people prefer blm over smn. Both of them have different advantages. There are plenty of blm who can't keep up with the dps in fights that require movement and that include most coils. Sometimes, they even get special treatments in order to keep the dps high like in T11 when they can stay at the stacked spot while everyone else had to move or in old T8 where they do no mechanics, when smn can run to grab a mine in any far corners so that dps can just keep dpsing.

    Regarding MP, SMN has to use MP wisely. Don't just throw ruin 2 on everything and remember you have sprint too. Energy drain is not great, but it's essential and needed rather than running out of MP to dot. I do wish though that energy drain gives back more mp and/or has higher potency or if could even be like having a longer CD time, but doesn't use aetherflow charge.

    Anyway, I'm one who hasn't changed my main at least not for now. :P

    Any good blm is comfortable with having to move while dpsing without it effecting their dps too much, I'm one of the more confident people in my coil group when it comes to having to handle mechanics so I'm normally on "Priority" for things like tether stack in t10 and towers in t8, and it doesn't really effect my DPS a lot.
