Samurai?

SAM is a powerful job to play on Pick Up Groups. And ironically enough, a decent melee to do progression on since Diversion buffs making NIN's Shade not that godlike anymore. People will still shame on you forever, though.

if its going for world fastest Speedkill meta, than sam is still a bit behind nin and drg..(aside of maybe some sam friendly fights, where sam's burst or/and aoe comes into account)

for "normal" speed kill farming / meta, sam is just as good as nin or drg, dps is very close...hence in most speed kills (but meta there is often abused to get personal buffs for good personal dps fflogs)

Implying most SAM even use diversion.

Well, we got more damage on our base combos and an increase to Enpi plus mild Yaten change. I use Yaten quite a bit to avoid AoEs and then Enpi/dash, but it still has the problem with interrupting combos.
