Current PvP Tier List: Based on data (Frontlines)

SMN in Stormblood used to could solo all classes in PvP, they definately gimped the class, AGAIN. Went from trash and awkward to play in pvp (pre trance) to excellent (stormblood) to trash again. It also makes no sense while the main consistent damage ruin was changed back to the PvE version. Energy drain barely does anything damage wise besides jumping into the trance which is literally just one big blast, that's not going to bring anyone down enough to do anything relevant. Why is it so hard to keep SMN consistent? Either it's too strong or laughably weak. Why does this class go through the most incompotent designing over and over again. If SCH is the problem for god sakes remove the class from SCH and rebuild it. Anyway don't agree with BLM being god tier, hardly anyone runs them because they're so easy to handle by not just the tanks, but every other range class. I usually melt BLMS with my MCH or GNB and they never seem to do much back besides one explosion and then running after they realize they're screwed lol. I personally think all the caster classes are pretty weak in PvP compared to the physical classes. MCH straight wrecks all the casters.

Back to SMN, healing AoE has a strong potency but I mean? this is a dps class, why have they turned it into a useless part time healer class? I mean if they wanted to put such a big emphasis on the phoenix heal MAYBE they should have allowed us to trigger it when we wanted or atleast gave us charges for it. As is we traded damage to be an awkward healer, wtf.
