I did, and I did. SAM is about equal, still not as good in my experience. The SAM-WAR relationship seems reversed to 75. SAM used to be slightly ahead, now WAR seems slightly ahead.

If you can't understand why hasszanshin + Ikishoten + Konzen + Hagakure with Fudo is pulling ahead...
I usually don't care when something involves things I can't pronounce, but I will say that everyone is still so stuck on warrior inside Abyssea that they pay no attention to the still dominate SAM job outside in the real world. A SAM without Masamune still pulls impressive numbers from their ass. Insert Masamune and it's lol warrior what the moment you step out of the great and powerful Abyssea that only lasts as long as you need stuff from it.
SAM shits on WAR, period.
Unless you base FFXI off Abyssea which no one should.
lol Why?
I think SE "Should" make each job better in their own way, then again if every job was so Balanced so "equal" you would just be playing the same job w/ a different name...
As far as: War Vs Sam it all depends on the player behind the job. so most of ya LOLSAM that posting on a [dev1029] Warrior why not just make yourself a Sam thread and stop being so mad at Warrior and move on, maybe ya can get big and strong someday. :D
FYI: "LOLSAM" is for those that are posting negative w/o a reason behind them, I'm not saying Sam is an lol job I like my Sam just as much as my War.

Ok with the Job Ability it would take 24 seconds to reach the 25% Job Ability haste cap, so there's 4:36 with capped haste assuming you have haste and march on.
80% of 482 is roughly a 97 delay weapon (1.6 second a swing basically) You have a standard 6-hit build so for 4:36 seconds you be at 100tp every 8 seconds, so from WS > WS will take you 10 seconds with other delays.
276 seconds in 4:36 so in that time you 'could' have done 27 weapon skills.. and with a weapon skill like Ukko's Fury... and buffs like Restraint (the nerf really won't be that bad) & Blood Rage with a 1 minute duration.
If you have more than 1 WAR then you could alternate using Blood Rage for maximum damage output, and let's not forget the ODD on this weapon, especially if you decide to start this Zerg @ 300TP.
I may have overlooked something as I'm tired, but I really think this proposed Job Ability is just a little too much.
I don't even know what a joke is.
I can try though.
"WAR is better than SAM outside Abyssea."
How did I do.
