I think a lot of people build opinions and judgement about pvp simply too early. It's like how people absolutely flip out about sleep/blms when you first begin pvp, but the smn threat becomes clear with experience.

I've played with DJ, who is rank 30, and we actually openly laugh on voice chat whenever we see his damage, it's not even something that can be possibly competed with. No class comes even close.

Me and my friends are all getting into the 1000 (let alone his 2000) match range, when you get that kind of experience you really see what classes are capable of, smn most of all. (cutoff by 1000 letters)
