SAM out classing all other DPS

Silly snip

I'm going to play dragoon to the end of this game whether at the last expansion it deals 1dps in comparison to every other class dealing 10M or whether it is god tier.
But the fact is that lower dps, that MUCH lower dps, is a hindrance to the group and to yourself. It's about getting progressively tired, performing with more stress because you are dealing with extra stuff because of your class choice and in the end not being able to call it quit because surprise surprise gotta meet the weekly lockout to not fall behind on the patch.

I played noob smn in arr, aoe masterrace in hw and now the questionable sb dragon tamer. Same goes for aar the lazy Brd, burst hw monster and will lvl sb singer next. Pure boring whm without much utility in hw, now even more pure healing in sb - and I never had problems nor someone who said i would slow down the grp in any manner. Can't see the problem to be honest... people make themselves the stress of thinking it would be bad if they stick to avarage or bottom line. : /

Those cls which "suck" now will shine in another moment... always running and changing for the meta is just hmm... I saw them joining in HW, i see them leaving in SB just for being "best of the best" - sad.

Still being 600 dps below on average is making you a deadweight to the group. You will have more mechanics whether you like it or not. More mechanics=more chances to fail because we are all human beings=more fails=more stress=more fails=vicious cycle of death leading to frustration over progression.

I don't advocate for changing classes for the meta, but there's a limit to being useless. I never liked monk but I felt for them in HW. Same for pld and I absolutely hate tanks.
And dragoon is currently only making up their low personal dps with both a bard and machinist and still comes up to deal the same personal damage (if you count the combined of brd and mch into drg's) of ninja or monk. Then ninja on top of that has their raid damage. Furthermore the compo drg+brd+mch is going to be weaker than nin+mnk+sam going by raw numbers.
