SMN is a shadow of its former self and a blatantly rushed, unfinished job. Do not expect them to improve on it, just like they left healers as glare mage for the last 3 years after players mistakenly assumed they had something planned to follow the complete gutting of that role.
As far as casters are concerned, turn to BLM if you want a fun, engaging job with a high skill ceiling that is guaranteed not to get ruined overnight (yoshiP actually cares about it).
