Yeah.... but it's also true... if you never realized people used Ruin 3 outside of trance nowadays... of COURSE you're going to think Piety gear is useless for a SMN and never account for the total package of Ruin 3 spam. Because Ruin 1 and Ruin 2 cost very little MP to cast...

If you never use it outside of DWT... then you'll never worry about MP anyway. But of course.... if you're maintaining Ruin 3 spam... its a different story. Because then you just might fall short at some critical moment so it would actually be a serious consideration. (Aka... the way the game is played now... changed)

BUT... all of that is beside the point... SMN damage and gearing is not the point of the thread...

.....its supposed to be about BLMs and their melds... Not SMN ... so irrelevent anyway
