- Demi-Bahamut 160 potency hits every 1.5s
- Akh Morn hits twice (meaning 2 times per 120s, while "Barrage and Emp arrow" is once every 90s)
- Enkindle which isn't a 3mn cooldown because of Ruin IV procs

SMN is a job which damage comes from all kind of sources. If you don't include half of them, of course it'll seems weak. But that's also completly unfair to do so.
So, stop comparing two jobs if you don't take everything into account. It doesn't serve your point and makes you look like you either don't know what you are talking about, or that you are dishonest.
