MNK wasn't over-tuned though, the changes fall on a QoL range.

It would definitely put mnk in a very strong spot and boost casters at the same time.

Note : my last post was again a response to wereotter which claims again that smn should be tuned down to RDM. It has nothing to do with smn vs mnk.

MNK could easily do that if they replace blunt for magic down and make MNK damage type unaspected/magical. Steel Peak as a oGCD would work amazing with that. So would purification, I mean the ways that MNK could work as a cornerstone for a caster comp are plenty but you get the idea.

And no, SMN shouldn't fall as low as RDM.
