I am curious if SAM may get that Nerf Hammer due to how strong it is.

it has a lot of high potency skills than any melee DPS in the game currently with no Position requirments.

Just look at these skills!

1. It does have positionals. Just because they don't affect potency directly doesn't mean missing their positionals don't hurt. The loss of Kenki on missing positionals means less Hissatsu skills, and less DPS.

2. It remains to be seen just how far the gap will be from other DPS, but it needs to be high to offset its complete lack of group utility. Otherwise we fall into another Heavensward Monk scenario where their damage wasn't enough to make up for how good Dragoon and Ninja's party contributions were.
