    I simple buff to Piety for SMN would fix the MP issues, just 500 more MP would give another 200 MP/minute in battle on top of the extra 500 before you run dry. Of course, then SMN would be asking for more spell speed.

    SMN will never ask for spell speed, if anything we will ask for less.

    To elaborate: Our DoTs are not affected by spell speed, they will always tick every 3 seconds for the same amount of damage.
    Festers are not affected by spell speed, they are limited by the one minute aetherflow cooldowns.
    Shadowflare is not affected by spell speed.
    Our Pets are not affected by our spell speed.

    The only spell which spell speed 'improves' is Ruin. All it does is give us 1-2 extra Ruin casts. This is bad because Ruin is our absolute worst spell that we only use when we cant be doing something better.

    Oh and spell speed causes us to OOM faster. Not good.

    That was the point, give SMN enough MP that there is no OOM issue, and they will ask for more spell speed to get those extra ruins in.

    SS would be more beneficial if there are no mana issues but it still won't touch CHR or DET's affect on their DPS. With how they do DPS they'll never value SS until an inherent change in their mechanics.

    It distinctly doesn't, as per a post by SE officials saying it's not intended to.
