There's no one that can deny that if SMN had access to all of those, that it would be god-tier.
WHAT UTILITY???

I'm honestly lost, it's already been made clear that Blood for Blood and Internal release don't even remotely close the DMG gap. You think that adding Stoneskin, Protect, Foresight, Convalescense and Awareness would somehow made SMN "god-tier"? Not once, in any fight, have I ever found myself saying I wish I had any of these cross class skills.

What content are you doing where you are running around casting protect and stone skin on the party, or tanking something that requires you to need Foresight, Convalescense and Awareness??
