what? Sam was a terrible DD at 75 except 2 situation: zerg ( polearm) amd HNM. WAR and mnks completly own it everywhere else ( at least +25% dmg), MNK/WAR and WAR/SAM being about equal. Your averge noob thought SAM was good because getting TP w/o meleeing is so awsome!! Oh wait, its not. The very reason SAM was good on HNM was the reason it was bad on non-HNM ( capped attack on WS). Considering relic was the only good great katana, and SAM were compelled to wield a polearm ( -50 acc -50 att), I'd say SAM was a pure failure except for the two above situations.

Unless you base FFXI off Abyssea which no one should.
You should explain with math what made SAM awsome. Unless you mean relic SAM shits over ukon war ( lolz). They sure did ungimp it. I think its just as bad as before honestly ( i.e avergae DD). I don't see how it can come close to MNK and WAR outiside abyssea. Go ahead please.
