I just don't understand the need for doom and gloom when it comes to numbers and not functionality. If 4.0 rolls out and SMN does end up having low damage compared to BLM/RDM, they will get buffed. If their kit is fun, and the changes work overall and the only issue is numbers- those can be tweaked. Easily, with little to no effort. People just need to calm down and let the raid tier come out before freaking out about potency. Balance will come, maybe not at first, but it will still come.
