Other than the fact that 10 was an arbitrary number to give equal testing, which I wasnt aware of...it doesnt change the fact that the charge RATE was nerfed...implying it takes longer to cap out.

No. If the Rate and the Cap were both nerfed proportionally (they were), it will always take the same amount of time to cap out (it will).

If it took you 10 hits at 5% WSDMG/hit to cap at 50% pre-nerf, it will take you 10 hits at 2.5% WSDMG/hit to cap at 25% pre-nerf. Obviously, hit number is arbitrary. Byrth discusses the proper formula in the thread linked above.

Tangent: Either people in this thread just play with really shitty SAMs or they don't do enough 90+ content. Outside Abyssea, SAM is beyond broken.

Tangent 2: I think the Suicide JA is retarded. SAM is overpowered right now, that doesn't make WAR underpowered. If you want to give some ridiculous suicidal AoE JA Haste buff to any job in FFXI, give it to Dark Knight so they can /emo out and make a dozen threads on these forums about how much it sucks and how they're all quitting next update.
