that thin with spellspeed is a a good idea, but there are several more things they need to change if the want to do a mechanic like that.

I really don't even know where to begin with this. Why is SMN on the same level as BRD? BRD gives buffs that affect ALL party members within range. SMN shouldn't be dealing more damage, but should be on par with BLM MNK DRG NIN. NIN has more utility than SMN does and it's currently sitting on top with MNK. Damage between DPS classes should be close enough where the higher DPS is the person who plays the job better. Battle rez is the most overrated utility spell in the game. Is it nice to have? Yes. Once your group has mastered a fight you really shouldn't need it for the clear anyways.
