Brds also have "better" aoe then smn. I use "" cause a well placed bane will do better or just as good as a brd. Brd is just easier to play
SMNs having to micro manage pets makes them a bit tougher, but realistically all of the ranged are easy to play with BLM being the easiest. Melee just don't like BRDs because they believe their dps is too easy and they are taking their spots in groups. It isn't BRD dps that makes them great, it is the utility. They provide mana for healers, dps boost for casters, 10% damage taken reduction for tanks, and a ranged silence for everyone! I will admit having all that utility is too much.
