SMN's have Mana isseus, hard to believe a DRG would claim otherwise..

yes they have mana issues when it comes to multidotting or raising a partymember.
just keep in mind that the 3 dots are 1/3 of a smn's dmg so if u can multidot as long as u want without running out of mp, smn would be the strongest class of there are 2-3 targets.

i just want to point out, that too much regen would make smn a lot stronger than blm .smn gives utility with that rais just like a bard with songs and they shouldnt be on top in dmg like others.

I totally agree, giving it too much regen would indeed be OP, but to run out of mana on long term fights makes it hard to keep up numbers (solo Target), i mean yes they shouldnt be the highest, but i still and will believe they should be far from the lowest. Even without Ruin 2 spam the mp drain is vastly.
The SMN has indeed certain skills that give aid and utilty if you must say, and that should indeed drain more Mana, but even as it stands at the moment without using any of those, the mp drain is massive.
to finalize, i will never understand why they gave SMN so much Spellspeed, most caster gear is favoured for the BLM.
I think spellspeed should have any worth if it would make the dots tick faster like Dino said. But we will see suppose.
