I wasn't even arguing that SMN needed adjusting in terms of their healing, or needs to contribute to healing when the healers are lacking, nor do I agree with that playstyle for RDM. I will fill in to heal if a heals goes down long enough for them to get back up, but I will not do a lazy healer's job for them.

I was saying that SMN has slightly more support aspects than RDM, and always has. To say that SMN isn't on par with RDM in terms of support is an incorrect statement, and leads me to believe that you do not know your job as well as you claim you do.

Also i think its the same with SCH control your pet
No amount of pet control can stop them from getting hit by unavoidable damage. Interrupting and manually casting each Embrace would be the only way to force your fairy to prioritize healing a tank or someone else over her, because the AI automatically prioritizes her health over everyone else's. In that instance, you spend so much time micromanaging it's easy to miss out on DPS, which SCH still carries quite a bit of personal DPS.

Giving us back Sustain would give SCHs a nice little buffer to heal their fairy so that she can spend less time healing herself and more time healing the party. I micromanage my fairies and I still want Sustain back.
