    SMN has the AoE advantage (best in game) and does great in situations where there's forced mobility you can't necessarily plan for - it's nearly impossible to catch a SMN with his pants down, at worst a DoT is delayed slightly. Also does great in fights with multi-DoTs/some AoE. Good utility with 2m E4E, Supervirus, Res (arguably the weakest of these 3 utility tools). Better LB user.

    BLM has the ST advantage by far, the biggest advantage it has and basically the most important difference between them. Apoc and Manaward/wall are nice, arguably up there with 2m E4E and Supervirus in usefulness. Mobility and fight RNG are unkind to 3.0 BLM more than in the past but its supreme numbers when things are going right usually even it out with SMN's slightly lower, more consistent numbers.

    Play whichever you want, both are in a great spot for all current content. Could argue either is better in any specific Savage floor (except A2S, can't deny anything about which is superior there), with good points for both sides.
