In reality, I wasn't trying to say SMN > everything else. It was more of a "I'm making a point" type of response to everyone else response. See, you see people here make assumptions about everyone's else jobs/classes. Some will say that a class is better than another one. But if you pay close attention, there's not much of a difference between classes.

It all depends on the person who is using the job. If I'm an expert in DRG and a newbie MNK joins the party, guess who's going to out dps the other person? The experts is, but then, you will see people in the pt shun the MNK for not keeping up with the DRG, then make general assumptions about MNK. Same thing applies to all the other jobs. DRG vs MNK, SMN vs. BLM, BRD vs. DRG, etc..

So, my post was more of an exageration and a parody about the many here who are saying, a job is better than another one.
