It's by no means representative, but in the forums I've been in, quite some people ended up disappointed with the rework upon reaching level cap, for various reasons.

Personally I agree with OP's post 100 %. The new SMN lacks flexibility, depth and buildup. I really hope something can be done about it, and hopefully not only in 2 years :/
