lol I find it hilarious that this guy thinks SMN is poor damage. I've been playing SMN for a day now, in patchwork gear (some allagan/myth jewelry from BLM, but still wearing AF1 robe and i55 book) and I'm stunned at how much damage it can put out on a single target. And this is with 15/15 int/mnd, a junk weapon and I'm not even very good at SMN. o_o

SMN is very strong even after the nerfs. Pre-2.1 they were pretty much on the same gamebreaking level as bards.
