Speaking as a SAM with Masamune and having done endgame for years, SAM still leaves a bit to be desired in the DD department. Yeah maybe I'm just jealous of the e-peen numbers the Ukon WARs get with Ukko's Fury, but Fudo just isn't that great. Inside Abyssea it's ok, but outside on any high DEF HNM it's just sad. My LS kills AV a couple times a week, and honestly I prefer to use my Widowmaker WAR over my Masamune SAM because Fudo doesn't work well against high DEF mobs. Usually I drop a 300 TP Fudo at the start for Aftermath then spam Gekko because it fairs a little better. Also on AV and Voidwatch you can't always WS from the front, like Voidwrought and its AoE attacks with stun and Amnesia or AV and its high parry rate, so I lose out on Overwelm. That's not to say this JA isn't a welcome edition, but I hope they tweak Fudo to be a more useful WS, cause all the jobs with crit WS have a distinct advantage. How about they give SAM that ability they're giving WAR for a guaranteed crit if it applies to WS, then you could close a SC with a crit WS for some real damage.

For stuff like VW just go /THF. A single Masamune SAM/THF is all you need to bring down the tier 4s. (before yesterdays update, I haven't done the new ones) AV you should be /war with songs and red curry. Since the Zanhasso update I have zero qualms with going SAM in any zone. No you won't do 8k WSs but your WS frequency should come close to double that of a WAR.
