I can assure you all that the war/sam that comes and pumps out massive damage the first 5 seconds of a fight, isn't going to end up being the highest DD in the group by the end of the fight. Know why? Cause he's dead after that first weapon skill and my whm butt is over here trying to keep the party alive. I don't have time to raise him mid fight. So he got off one awesome weapon skill, and the taru brd over there swinging a dagger out damaged the war at the end of the fight. Speaking as a 7 year whm veteran, I can assure you, those people that think just cause they can pop out one 6 k weapon skill and then spend the rest of the fight dead or hiding in a corner weakened means they are ubber are definitely not ubber. Pretty fail if you ask me. Blms are the same freaking way. You don't start a fight out with Firaja and expect to live through it. Trust me, I'll take a sam pumping out 2k weapon skills regularly and surviving the fight over a 6k weapon skill and then death any day of the week.
