I have WAR and SAM leveled and geared and it's my call which I come as. My friend has DRK and was never turned away when a DD was needed either. Is SAM better? Sure. Is WAR plenty good for anything that needs a DD? It is. The same couldn't be said for the 1-hander DDs before the update and some of them still don't have a spot even now. The drop off from WAR and DRK to the 1-handers was more substantial than the drop off from SAM to WAR and DRK. And that's not even taking MNK into account.
Oh here we go... Now you're going to tell us that there's never been a problem with DNC as a job, it's just that only 3 people in the entire world know how to play it right. /sigh If it's so hard to squeeze damage out of the job that only a select few can figure out how to do it, then don't you think that is a sign of a big problem?The reason why nobody cares about steps is probably it's harder to find a decent DNC, and it's much easier to /shout for a SAM. That doesn't mean steps suck.
Yeah you really don't understand. I don't want the DDs to be tiered at all. I don't want it to matter one bit which melee job one brings. I want my WAR and someone else's THF to be on the same level without either of us being dragged downward.I really don't understand though, you play WAR, and you'd rather let DNC THF pwn WAR all over and still be fine with it. I'm fine with BLU being 2nd tier DD, but if I'm a WAR I wouldn't be happy with WAR being 2nd tier.
