As someone who has SMN at 70 it is just painful. The class is extremely punishing, and it requires a 100% accurate knowledge of the fight to even hope to do good. The stars have to actually align in a real fight for most SMNs to put out anywhere near training dummy level dps. So many things can go wrong in an actual fight and the set up time to get the burst is just insane. I'd rather suffer the current SCH state than deal with that mess.
