SMN is Broken in PvP

[Evangela]

SMN is strong. But if you have learned about the job a little bit you'll know their weakness. The best way is to play SMN yourself and learn how it work. Their burst is strong but they're like the weakest job in PvP, with little to no tool to save themselves from getting killed. At least BLM has something like Sleep and magic shield. SMN has nothing. I think that's why SE doesn't want to nerf their attack potency too much because they traded that offensive abilities with their defenses.

To counterplay a SMN, you gang up on them and kill them before they burst you.
