Pet Class Needed!

[Kalitzo]

SMN is one of the strongest jobs in XI atm in new content if the SMN itself isn't gimped and did their magian trials or sought a nirvana.

Um no sorry hun your wrong. I had all afv3+2 relic and emperyian with the correct accessories and my dmg was no where near a well geared BLM, DRK, WAR, MNK . . . . Unless you had some miracle gear that I didn't know about. Everyone confuses spike damage for the actual damage that is done over the whole battle. Yeah you may see SMN on FFXI doing 8k-12k or what not but here is the break down of that 8k-12k in abyssea terms we have a 45 sec cool down time after this huge spike dmg and also our pets hit for practically nothing then to top it off because perp cost we can only use our BP's for a very limited time and not to mention against bosses there is a huge resistance to our bp's and not only that most of our 75 BP's which are dated have huge accuracy flaws. . . . Now on my MNK with the correct atmas I hit for crits of 200-300 per hit usually double attacking or tripple attacking with a kick attack to a 5-7k WS every 20-30 seconds. Outside of abyssea SMN is even worse because X the atmas for refresh X all the atmas that give your pet MAB+ and MATK+. So I hope for FFXIV they don't leave SMN behind like they did in FFXI <3
