If there's some super-secret way to play SMN that makes it competitive with RDM, or even with BLM, I don't think players have discovered it yet.
It's not just SE. Half the posts in this thread are people with no clue about SMN coming in and dismissing any arguments about the job's current state. A lot of people seem to have convinced themselves that SMNs have no legitimate reason to complain about anything because they've been forced to fight tooth and nail to get any attention from the devs since 2.0.
