SMN is Broken in PvP

[Exira]

Smn gets a radial bind, a ranged bind that hits in an aoe (both with no cooldowns mind you), knock back via Garuda, stun via ifrit/Titan. For mch, both their stun requires melee range (which means damage penalty), one has a long cooldown and the other is shared with silence. Heavy and bind also share cooldowns.

If you're worried about the damage penalty on your MCH stuns you aren't thinking about it the right way. All of the CC you listed for MCH is instant cast with somewhat reasonable cooldowns. A smn casting tri-bind takes away a lot of pressure on their enemy healer since they aren't doing anything but letting their dots tick. It also reaches diminishing returns if you just spam it. Binds are pretty lose CC I don't really see how cc is even part of the argument against SMN. As the other poster said the stun on from pets is just wasteful and lets you reach immunity to stuns faster
