This has been bugging me for a while. I would like now to point out how unfun SE made SMN for this game. First I'll point out the pros and cons of the class.
Pros:
-Passed Lv 70 its able to do insane dmg to higher level monsters that otherjobs can't.
-A good SMN can almost solo the BCNM Lv 70 pots in qu'bai'arena.
-Blinkga is very very helpful for PLDs tanking HNMs. (You can do this as a subjob though =/).
Cons:
-Theres not many pros =/.
-SMN is possibly the most boring job to play in the game. And there are some boring ones there. Down the ladder theres BRD (Though i honestly had fun with this -to an extent-). DRG (poor guys). WHM (at least WHMs can kick ass with hexastrike). All SMN really is is a cure tank unless your doing big fights.
-Blood pact is bugged to shit.
-Possibly requires the most time and effort of any job in the game. Yet there is no way to transfer that effort into other classes. Example - Getting all the SMNs, doing the SMN quest, takes insane amount of time. You get no equipment or gil back for it. I feel like i've wasted months of my life getting SMN to 55 and all the equipment i got for it sigh....
-SE is doing nothing about the cons.
-A naked SMN can do the same dmg of a SMN with 10million gil of equipment.
What really sets me off on this is that I have a couple Lv 75 SMN friends really dissapointed in their class and they won't change cus of the amount of time they spent in it. One complains a lot on how much it sucks even though he is a really good player and i wish he would have spent all his time on something he would enjoy. Its just that he one of those people that crave for efficiency (as am i to an extent). He knows how useful it can be for those few end game fights and will try to be the best at it until he drives himself insane.
Another thing that bothers me is that complete morons can be admired by hundred of newbies just for a few flashy avatars that aren't that great. I know this one person, who will remain anonymous, who got Lv 75 just because this person was a WHM. The only reason this person got so rich was by giving someone i know cyber hand-jobs once a week for a few months. Well this person is a higher level smn now, completely worthless at that, and actually feels no shame and is admired for this. Hmm.
Moving on. To emphasize how boring this class is I will name the steps a SMN has to take to do its DMG. 1. click blood pact macro 2. click on the monster 3. wait a minute so you can do it again.
SMN cannot MB, or do anything else with his blood pact. It is as simple as those 2 clicks. A trained monkey can do this. Maybe even an untrained one if you can tickle it long enough on your keyboard for it to hit the right buttons.
Anyways food for thought.
