Dude... what do you mean "less desirable"... in your own little world maybe... but not in reality...

You can't throw a stone in this game without hitting a SMN.... its an incredibly popular, powerful, and viable class now...

"Less Desirable"... that would be the ARR version of it. People bolted that job like crazy.... they came BACK to it and loved it in HW. I have yet to hear anyone but the most delusional people wanting to go backwards. The people who actually play this very popular job, love it.

Pssst... dude, seriously... FFXI and FFXIV are two different games... what worked in one, does not work in the other. They are two different games you can't stretch to fit... the SMN was a failure in ARR and all but abandoned...

The Changes in HW... suddenly brought players back to the class and job and its thriving now where few wanted it before.
