Tell that to Monk mains. Or warrior mains. Or Ranged Physical DPS classes in HW. Or Ast mains in HW.

There's a habit to overreact on this forum when their preferred classes aren't overpowered, and while a lot of people have a lot of good points, they let themselves turn toxic when they're not the gods of the game.

SMN might also be fine. The nerfs are deserved, to be honest, considering they were out DPSing SAMURAI, which was supposed to be one of the two pure DPS classes.

But we need to actually test and see. No amount of guessing will actually match the actual gameplay until the gameplay hits.
BLM is not going to be in a good spot at all. Do the math - its not going to get us near the meta. All of this was calculated before the announcement. No testing is required because our rotation is not changing. BLM hasn't even been meta since A Realm Reborn.

SMN's nerfs were in no way deserved. Just because SAM and BLM were bad, doesn't mean SMN was overpowered. Bard, Ninja, Dragoon and Machinist were all better than SMN.
