Thread: SMN 4.1 patch notes

I keep reading people claiming how 3.0 smn was flowing but I fail to see how.
I don't see how adding an extra transe destroyed the flow of the job. Isn't exactly the same as before with just that bonus trans every 2 bhm?

I don't dislike 4.0 SMN as much as most; I didn't think they destroyed the flow. Instead, I feel that we ended up with a more complicated flow across two minutes, which consists of two 60-second "clocks" where I am required to properly fit in two DWTs, and one Demi-Bahamut. Rouse timers are not tight enough over a 11 minute fight to be punishing.

It really isn't that bad especially now that we see our DPS is very competitive. But could it be better/smoother? Of course it could.

I thought 3.x SMN's Aethertrail Attunement timer was pure cancer, and actually made me drop the job entirely for HW. Not sure why it's praised so much everywhere. Stormblood SMN has its own issues, but I will forever be grateful that they got rid of the "but muh staaaaaaacks" nonsense.
