    When people talk about smn in relation to blm, they always fail to realize two things.

    1. Smn has a higher theoretical dps than blm. This means that two equally skilled smn and blm playing at an extremely high level the smn will out dps the blm. However it's much harder to achieve this as a smn than a blm. This means that dots have to be clipped at exactly 0.1 seconds, shadow flare has to us 100%, ogcd skills have to be weaved in and pets and their buffs have to be managed optimally. Any of these happening, especially dots falling off, is a huge loss to their dps. Let's not kid ourselves the St and aoe rotation for blm is a no brainer, the difficulty lies in maintaining their dps while moving. And since se said that they would fix mobility for blm they will essentially be a moving turret and should not need any further increase to their dps. Whatever happened to higher risk higher reward?

    2. People conveniently forget via smn is also a caster and they are also affected by mobility issues, albeit much less than a blm. If they have to move while refreshing a dot or even to cast ruin 2 that is a loss in dps. By not buffing smn mobility is already an indirect nerf to call for smn to be nerfed further is ludicrous.
