Im honestly still surprised there isnt a bigger rant following for them and RDM than there is for NIN right now, but thats cause they do actually still have some outside dps utility.

It's not something to make light of.

SMN is in a bad spot, and IMO would be the class I'd want the least in my raid group of the 3 to fill the caster spot.
People in the english forums are too focused about the playstyle and writing out their own ideal SMN by reworking the fundamentals of the job which isn't really a bad thing, but I'm glad the japanese forums are talking about its low damage problem a lot more, and the devs will probably listen to them more.
