I don't know Red has it all like Lunar has said, even the potency of most of it's attacks seem higher then that of SAM. Not saying it will out dps it of course, but having cure, raise, holy and flare is rather awesome

Nah, nothing holds a candle to SAM potencies. Their combo finishers are 400 potency, they have a 800 potency attack(though on a 2 min cooldown), and a whopping 1080potency(cause no one is ever doing midare without kaiten) attack that can be done every 6 gcds. Sam is raw power and rdm is about speed.

it's hard to consider everything without having more details (waiting to see if formulas change or how direct hit works), but just looking at basic potencies it seems like SAM is going to have INSANE burst, where we are just moderately high DPS all the time. Keep in mind we have "magick and mend" talent and they dont. Everything we do is 40% higher potency. so our normal combo is going to basically be 336/378 and 420 (388.5 avg) alternating. their (accounting for the 15% damage buff) 172.5 322 460 (avg 318.16) the 400 hit doesnt seem as shiny.

our burst would be (210 290 470 550 before modifiers) 2128 in 7.7 seconds (1.5 1.5 2.2 2.5). That is nothing to shake a stick at!
