As I mentioned in my previous post, it seriously feels like they tried to give SMN a more support-DPS role with a build up twist, similar to Dragoon, but our payoff and our support doesn't really work well, especially since Red Mages can essentially rez with no flaws period, and have an AoE support... and then there's Vercure. Both aspects require adjustment, the payoff to our DPS, and the support.
I know which is why I think SMN should be put in line next to RDM making it more a matter of which play-style and buff I want to play with. I want SMN buffed. Please don't misunderstand that.
