We've tried a few different compositions and we're definitely open to further experimentation, but when we went to a 2nd SMN, we noticed that certain parts of the fight weren't as smooth. And we know that the patch notes said only LB2/3 were affected by job diversity, but we were far more consistent with having LB1 for the gaolers after switching back to having a BLM instead of another SMN (we can't say conclusively that diversity affects LB1 but it kind of seems like it; we need to do more testing). It is really unfortunate that BLM (and DRG and MNK) get disproportionately punished by gaols compared to BRDs and SMNs, and that proc streaks or droughts can completely ruin the time on an otherwise amazing attempt.
