So BLM as AOE covered, MNK has single target... What does SMN bring?

[Odowla]

If you actually think SMN has lower raw DPS than bard, then you don't know what you are talking about.

SMN just has gearset issues, and resource issues.

Yes, much lower DPS than a bard - however, a bards potency per second is WAY higher - almost twice that of a SMN's. #rekt
