Abyssea SAM's who never had decent gear at 75 when SAM's were king complain about SAM not being good while the same SAM's who had decent gear at 75 when SAM's were king have improved and continue to be king.

Eh?

Only flaw with SAM I can see is that it isn't the best job for everything.

[Stiel]

Well, i am not saying SAM is crap now. It's true samurai were quite strong back then,though what i mean is that for me,this job lost the use it used to have,because other jobs can do the same,or even better.I don't want SAM job to be the best,just have some real use,strategic use for extend,because for raw dmg many jobs are very similar.I'm not complaining tho,other jobs as well need to be adjusted and bringed back to a real purpose ^^

That chainbound move is broken I see SAMs doing that move+Fudo for 4k light every 3min. What new abilities has DRG got that helps our damage?

[Modoru]

Yeah, SAMs don't really need anything more. They've got quite a range of options as ridiculous damage dealers, much higher than any other class, and if they're not buffed via ja's every few new updates, they're buffed by ridiculously strong weapon/armor options.

Sekka before it and you can kasha>>>light>>>Fudo>>> light for some extra fun. Seriously though outside abyssea if you have fudo, sam jack stomps just about every job while being able to straight DD or tank with the new zanshin stuff. Even inside of abyssea if you know what your are doing sams can still dole out a sh*t-ton of damage but aren't the king of the abyssea mountain.

Yeah SAM gets the cream of every update either gear/traits/JA or enhancments. Y/G/K ignore defense as a HIDDEN effect in addition to debuffing the mob 100% unless they're immune, while WS like Wheeling Thrust and Camlann's Torment ignore defense with TP. Having Hasso/Seigan/Meditate/Sekkanoki as your main job's abilities means you can sub WAR and get Berserk/DA/Aggressor and make the best of both. DRK and DRG main job abilities are meh and rely too heavily on /SAM for defense and TP gain. WAR and SAM abilities compliment eachother EXTREMELY well whereas DRK and DRG have to rely on /SAM and lose out on Berserk/DA/Aggressor that WAR/SAM and SAM/WAR both get.
