I dont parse, but Ive seen good SMN's annhilate stuff and leave the other DPS in their tracks.
Ive cleared FCoB and parsed above 480 on every turn so yeah I know how to play SMN. I'll grant that outside of coil SMN is really good on many fights. But at the end of the day our sustained single target damage is pathetically low, there is something fundamentally wrong when MNK/BLM/NIN/DRG can all hit 530+ on T11 and SMN struggles to even hit 500.
