Not too sure why they added more DoT dependency on SMN in the first place. Nobody asked for SMN to be more DoT-focused at all, and SMN became less DoT dependent as expansions go, but ShB reversed that for some odd reason.
And to be honest I never understood the Raise tax. Revived players already get temporarily penalized for getting raised, so I don't understand why RDM and SMN should be permanently penalized for just having it.

If that's true, I find that pretty hilarious because BLMs before ShB were complaining about having no utilities and demanded they should have Raise, while MNKs were going through things about being inconvenient to play. Now that BLM and MNK are in a good spot (MNK arguably being busted) as the highest DPS jobs in the game, you'd think they'll support the DPS jobs who are struggling right now for going through the same thing before.
