Why SE gave SAM's skills to RPR and just made them superior?!?

Man, if only an ability like that existed. I sure would love the ever satisfying snkt of a skill like that.

Why? Why does RPR get to be unique? Because it's new? Why doesn't SAM get to keep the tools it came with? Why does SAM feel so limp now? I don't understand.

Make SAM fun again.

Doesn't even make much flavorful sense. Reaper, both by weapon design and by even *stronger* moon theming than SAM, wants attacks that sweep in arcs. Reaper wants circle and half-circle AoEs, whereas SAM is the one that wants cones and lines and overall AoE variety.

Except every other job isn’t similar & retains to its own identity,

Why on earth would you ever say RPR is superior than SAM?

Each job has its own combinations of sorts
