i feel like nothing you can do to keep smns from crying all day. i wanted this job to work. such a cool concept. but all the ppl crying about every single little thing ruined it for me. also, is anyone else afraid that new pets wont best Garuda?

Any smn worth their salt doesn't only use garuda.

Amen.

More to the point with regards to MP, you really should be on Ifrit now except for some add phases.

Ifrit is far superior now.

MP management never been a big deal for me and I main SMN and beat turns 11-12 in my static.

Just don't spam ruin 2 people. Recast time you don't get more hits with ruin 2, just use it when on the move and for the fester combo of
Ruin 1, ruin 2, fester then back to ruin 1.

Before the MP adjustment, you still went OOM in virtually any FCOB fight in about 2-3mins performing optimally, of course not factoring a couple of Energy Drains to actually finish a fight. Who ballads for a SMN nowadays?

i was more saying how i hope the new pets dont get put away after a short time period from them not being as adequate.

It's not a no shit scenario because you already claimed what could "best Garuda", when in fact in almost all scenarios, Ifrit already does.
Only a handful of things cater to Garuda in terms of helping either your DPS or mana management. Whatever they add in, will find its place.

So in other words you sound like an idiot, since at current, each pet has their individual uses, even within the bounds of one fight like T11 or T13 where switching between Garuda and Ifrit can help your DPS depending on your party setup.
