My only change to SMN's Aetherpact and Ruin IV

[Osmond]

I'm a SMN main and since I believe that they have no intention into giving the player the option to command their pet to target which devotion it should go to, why not just turn it from a single target to an AoE, but change it from 5% to 2% for 15 secs.

It's one of the main reasons why I have an issue w/ this job. It's a good ability in a way, but no control of it and I can't stand it going to waste..............kind of. It's not fun to play the guessing game to see who gets who and I know yoshi-p or the dev team who come up w/ this idea can see that.

Last, Ruin IV, just make it 100% proc during DT as part r.mastery trait. It was the best idea in PvP, do it in PvE. That way it should help their DPS in some way.

That's about it for SMN really.

That's one of my big things with smn. Aetherpact.... whyyy? 5%? No way in hell am I stopping dps to position my pet to get close to the dps I would try to give it to, even if it gives it to them lol imo smn just doesn't feel as good as it used to. I know it's SB, the game is different now, yadda yadda but having played through the 3 smn incarnations of ffxiv, it just doesn't feel as good as the other 2.
