SMN is still not competitive with BLM in coil. that is the heart of the problem.

In order for them to fix this they would've needed to:

1) Adjust SMN MP resource management - This one is complete
2) Increase SMN single target damage to be roughly 2-3% higher than BLM ST damage
3) Adjust SMN Uility to give them something that is actually useful in FCoB

Only 1 of these issues has been addressed. All 3 need to be looked at if SMN will ever be on par with BLM.
