Yet another SMN thread: SMN is the only job that doesn't have a gauge/proc management

[Catwho]

Im genuinely curious, considering Smn is the most played job, do folks play it cause they like the easiness or play it cause might as well take advantage, kind deal?

For me, it has the right balance of utility and mobility. I'm bad at timing things on BLM and it has no raise. RDM has more raises than SMN and similar levels of mobility, obviously, but its also a matter of personal preference, and I like SMN's rhythm more.

That's what is really neat about XIV in general. If you hate a job the way it is presented in the game, you can play another job that you like better.

Until the devs decide to flip your favorite job or hell an entire role on it's head for reasons incomprehensible to the human mind, but we'll just ignore that right?

Ok, where's the DoT based Healer I can play?

This only rings true for the DPS role. All healers function almost the same and the only difference for tank is whether you want high or low APM.
