The changes for SMN were basically non-existant. I have to admit, I found the increased APM incredibly annoying over playing for a long period of time (progression). I'm hoping for some significant changes to jobs to come in 5.1. The fact that devotion lines up whilst we have Phoenix summoned is incredibly annoying as you are forced to delay your burst so you can use your buff. Not sure why it is acceptable that you cannot use your devotion buff for 40 seconds out of 2 minutes every 2 minutes. I'm not aware of any other job with a lockout like this. The dots in particular were annoying for the final fight with regards to the healer jails as they had that awkward death time of being in that period where double dotting them felt bad (though you could bane off the boss for one of them)

I'm still in the camp of getting Aetherflow pre-pull and having it linked to our cycle - I'm grateful that tri-disaster and bio are instant but these are changes that should LONG have occured. If Scholar can get Energy Drain back I have hope that we can get our Aetherflow back especially when pre-pull waits still exist for other jobs (surprised other jobs did not get the "cannot be used out of combat" treatment)

I'm just hoping for a better flow for the rotation going forward from 5.1
