    Show me a RDM main beating a SMN main in serious content and I'll show you a bad SMN main who for whatever reason isn't optimized whatsoever.

    Edit: regarding "you're only blaming class balance because you're bad!" https://www.fflogs.com/character/id/186645

    I'm not as impressive as Zera is, but there ya go. Orange to purple with 86.5 average best. Could I improve? Yes absolutely. However I'm by no means uninformed on how to optimize and get the most out of RDM just because I see the reality that Summoner plum beats it out.

    But yeah, there's dualgunner's point:
    outside of world first prog rdm falls behind hard, and outside of needing to carry a group past enrage that doesn't die but still lacks dps, blm falls behind. Smn is almost equal to rdm for prog value while providing enough dps to be viable in speed kill comps. And there lies the issue discussed.

    Smn's kit seems like it should be jack of all trades, master of none, but it's currently about master of all.
