But I agree with you, new smn is mechanically flawed.

Why not remove energy drain and have your trances grant aetherflow stacks and ruin 4? Not to mention fester doesn't really fit in anymore. Painflare somewhat does

Why have ruin4 once a minute if it's not even that's strong? Mobility? We have plenty of it. Aoe? We DEFINITELY have plenty of that

Why all the instant casts? We have nothing to weave outside of titan. We don't need that much mobility

Making the CD for the demi phrases scale off spell speed are a horrid idea.

No interactions with your summons.

Having Searing Light center around you with a small range means we need to be on the boss when we pop it.

Carby is literally there to be cute.

Phoenix astral flow is nothing but flavor. It doesn't add anything.

The rotation is so stagnant. Let's face facts please. We are back to spamming one button with occasional presses of another.

So many buttons you hit once a minute.

We are essentially a physical range DPS with occasional casting now

New smn is flashy and beginner friendly but that's about it
