SAM out classing all other DPS

[Shiroe]

Why would they nerf SAM? It's doing exactly what the job was meant to do. Bring lots of damage. Their DPS isn't even that much higher than the other top DPS jobs. If you bring their damage down to where it is comparable to other classes, it loses all purpose as a job.

Isn't even that much higher? With or without all the buffs it's getting? It's 600-500 higher than the 2nd placed, unless Blm. And 1000-1200 more than the low Dps.

Mnk was not that much higher, by 100-150 max more in 3.x.

Most of their damage comes for sustain so they will suffer harder than other jobs in fights that have phases where you can't damage the boss.

Mnk was excluded because it was only 100 - 150 dps more than Drg. That dos difference was eclipsed by the utility drg/Nin brought to the raid.
People use this comparison when it didn't work for mnk and want to put Sam in the same predicament.

Sam/Blm are you physical/magical heavy hitters. If they need Sams, then they better need Blms to compensate. I don't think either class needs to be nerfed.
