You don't have several good SMN if you think good SMN drop shadowflares and banes on spiny plumes and constantly make demands for the party to switch out stuff, or if they parse 20% lower than the other classes. You have no idea how the class works if you think SMN can't handle some of the burst mechanics in the game right now.

SMN is the strongest most consistent dps class in the game. I've ran with multiple static groups that all have turn 5 on farm, with everyone full i90 with allagan weapons. I don't make assumptions based on bad players I run into on party finder.
