It's not entirely justified to have a "BLM's turn now!" attitude when SMN was really not preferred for all of two patches and one endgame tier. BLM is pretty terrible to play and is extremely punishing at the moment. We should be focusing less on some kind of caster revenge and more on caster balance.
Alright, everyone. Let's just cool our heads. I will admit that reading people's posts has gotten the best of me. Both jobs went through ups and downs, and it is still early to know hard numbers and facts. Let's just wait a while. I will also admit that I don't know the lv60 state of both since I'm still leveling. The only thing I can say is that I am in joy with SMN now more than ever. I actually feel powerful. Perhaps I was wrong about Flare or perhaps not. I'll get back to this thread when I have more data.
