MNK vs SMN ?

Such as Garuda EX, you can't AOE your DOTs 90% of the fight or you will kill spiny, if you want to DOT both Chirada and Suparna then you have to apply them to Suparna first otherwise by the time you DOT Chirada then Suparna disappears with Garuda and you have to wait. Half the time I just roll on BRD because I can hit high numbers w/o all the work.

But when it comes to 2-4 mobs SMN is king because you can literally apply 75%+ of your single target DPS as AOE.

Also, a lot of people complain about SMN not being able to burst DPS, and sometimes SMN is excluded from party for this reason. However if the burst is needed on an add that pops beside a boss then the SMN has one of the best (if not the very best) burst mechanic in the game. Which is to apply your DOTs just before an add pops, AOE your DOTs instantly as it pops and Fester.
