Sam used to be a bandwagon job about a year ago. All those people who were on the bandwagon have moved on to new bandwagons today. A year from now they may be proclaiming their beloved jobs of today to be suck jobs too--war, mnk, and thf have been called suck jobs in the past, because they weren't rng, which is a job you only play ironically, for laughs these days.

There's nothing inherently wrong with sam. If you have fun playing it, then keep playing it. Until you get a few good atmas, and some respectable gear, your job in Abyssea is going to be standing off to the side, and out of the way anyway, at least on NMs. To my knowledge you can do that reasonably well with any job.
