Well Len, the SMN pre 70 took a massive nerf (when the tooltips got out it was like what the hell ?) but many were hoping for errors in tooltips and the compensation from Bahamut at 70.

But the tooltips weren't false, except the mistranslation on fester (yeah) and the one on devotion (ouuuuuh), and Bahamut does the compensation job at the price of clunkiness of rotation so...Yes for some people it went from "it looks shitty but let's see and give it a chance" to "oooh man I suck now and the folks writing guides are a galaxy away, really ?" real fast.

Don't boost any potencies, just be done with the ludicrous lock out. Using aether abilities during transe or when we already have 3 stacks of aethertrail, but without throwing it out of the window, having contagion and stimulation available all the time when CD is up, with enkindle becoming enk Baha when needed, should be a great help to not needing a 3 minute rotation plan ahead (how do you expect us to have a 3 min rota preset in mind with several cooldowns in actual fights ? Or make it so that using one CD badly doesn't punish us so bad gosh I feel like misusing one contagion on a 3 minute dummy is a 400 DPS loss).
