SMN - 5.3 Tri-Disaster 50% potency nerf - Misprint, Bad Joke or Just Right?

[Roda]

Before 5.3: The better black mage with ranged mobility and utility.
Afer 5.3: The slightly inferior black mage with ranged mobility and utility.

SMN remains the 4th ranged and will remain the most insane job, yet bad to play.

I have no idea why people say smn is bad to play when i find it to feel the best out of all the classes D;
(sure the pets are a little wonky, but i find that kind of almost organic optimization quite interesting)
