Samurai doesn't get smite... why?

Kinda necro but I think the reason why SAM isn't getting smite may be something to do with DD RUN with lionheart. RUN is designed to be a tank job, and it can really only DPS with massive amount of attack buffs. If SAM gets smite then RUN/SAM DPS would improve a lot since it low attack is it's biggest weakness. Then it'll create a scenario of a tank job able to keep up with real DD and still gets massive parry and massive meva/mdef etc.

Not that I'd want SAM to get it, but that's easily countered by giving it to them after level 49.

I'm guessing that, at best, SAM would get tiers 1 and 2 at level 40 and 80 like MNK and DRG.

Definitely not 4 or 5 tiers like DRK (+attack is its thing), and I highly doubt it would get 3 tiers like WAR.

At level 99, a SAM/WAR gets Smite 1, which is +4.6% attack, while Smite 2 would be +7.3%, a difference of +2.7% in attack.

Is that really worth crying over?
