Amen.

Like you said there are a bunch of other SMN posts, but your post here covers everything in a very detailed yet concise format.


I never knew about rezing your pet with weakness. Just another punishment for dying on top of everything else.

Also, you point about the dps difference between good and bad needs to really needs to be brought to light and discussed more. People argue about which class is "hardest" to play, but the numbers don't lie. Look at fflogs and compare the 50% on deltascape normal (bad players) with the 75% on deltascape savage (good players). Good SMNs do 38% more damage than bad ones! Compared that to an average of only 27% dps increase between good players and bad players for all other DPS classes.
