Oh yeah, SMN needs a buff. That is not even up for debate. The actual discussion is what should be buffed. As it stands, going from 79 to 80 is straight up a DPS loss because of the tradeoff of Deathflare for Rekindle. The easiest solution would be to buff the Phoenix autos or their GCDs in some way. Other than that, some slight buffs to Gemshine and Precious Brilliance would be in order. Also need take Ruin IV off the GCD.
