SMN is Broken in PvP

[Exira]

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.

"But they're like the weakest job in pvp"

What

Have you even stepped foot in pvp for the past year and a half? What tools do BRD and MCH have to save themselves? BRD has 2 pititful heals and MCH has 1 neither of which really "save" them. BLM sleep is a long cast unless you use the pvp ability with a hefty cooldown....

Your last statment could be said about anything ever. That argues nothing

I mean weakest in defense.

BRD & MCH have instant bind and heavy or something. I don't play these jobs in PvP.

If you haven't played all the jobs then what insight are you trying to provide?

It's ok if you don't believe me. Find other way to deal with SMN then.

I can't speak for MCH but Bards can counter a SMN with extreme ease. Frankly, I'm not sure why you feel that those heals are pitiful. They are more than sufficient in my experience, at least alongside Bard's utility skills. SMN are honestly one of the classes that concerned me the least in encounters.
