This is where I question if you even play SMN, cause we are so not that mobile caster we were in SB, if you think this then you are mistaken. BLM is the mobile caster now.

Also the difference between RDM and SMN dps is abysmal in most cases where RDM can out dps a SMN simply cause of its complexity, and how much of a mess it is. This is the same issue we had in SB with BLM and SMN. We got to be mobile and out dps them for a long time until they got fixed.

Now we are in that same boat of being less mobile and doing significantly less dps then we were doing from a percent stand point. Also you need to read those threads they are less about dps and more about how clunky the job has become.
