Bane doesn't wake up monsters period. After each tic while the monster is slept and tank is neglectful you can take hate and when it wakes it comes for you. Also for NM fights like ifrit titan etc. we wouldn't wanna use bane anyway we'd use Fester... and for FATEs on SMN SOLO I get gold ranks almost every time even when the monsters disappear and you have to move around to have it repop on the screen. SMN might not be the "best" DD or the "best" healer but SMN can do more then just smack the monster in the face! SE made limit breaks and classes ALL useful so one isn't "over powered" or "unused" why we only have 1 DD animation for limits with the buster sword. IF something is wrong SE will fix it otherwise it's players NOT knowing how to play the job that causes problems. The game is JUST launched and end game has just begun if that... I'm not lv 50 SMN i'm only lv 45 and I may not be into all the math and mumbo jumbo you guys talk but I MAKE the job useful
