That's the risk SM mages are taking and it's disadvantage other classes/setups are unaffected.

I've already been a SM user, and I know its advantages and drawbacks, trust me. Sure it sucks when your buffs end in the middle of the fight or if you get MSed, but it's similar to Devotion ending while you're casting some spell. The c\d is different, but still in both cases you become useless. Same thing happens if anyone gets its buffs debuffed, like AoO or Madness, so your try to show how SM is weak has failed to convince me.
SM is a setup with which you can deal high damage at fast rate, without interference of Resistance of spells. So far there's only one way to deal with it, and it's reserved only to warriors using blunt. Other classes just cant deal with it, since sotw is futile vs normal hits, and other mages cant just counter it, unless you're a warju with karma mirror (?) or a Lock using Wind Wall in a very lucky day.
Like Necrovarus said, this isnt balanced at all, and it isn't logical that the only solution vs SM users is MS, which is conditioned to a 50% success rate.
