As an smn main since SB(when I started playing the game) I am excited about the changes and liked what I saw for smn. Im hoping that this new smn will stop the meme of smn being a new job every expac and the dev team finally has a solid foundation to build on. As for those who dislike the changes I understand their worried the job going to be too easy and what not but at the same time I rather them gut the job and create something that they can build on going forward rather than trying to fix the problems that they clearly couldn't fix. Like they have been trying for years to fix the pet ai and failed every time. Either way if it turns out I hate the new smn I have my backup jobs, reaper looks really fun and I love dnc so I will be fine going forward. The best advice to ppl who hate the new smn is to wait and see how the job plays, and if you still don't like it try to find a new job to enjoy. This game has so many jobs to choose from and I think it smart to always have a backup job and if there aren't any other jobs you care for then I really don't know what to say.
