-The long duration DoT makes their damage a lot more potent considering they can also Kaiten Higabana for 60s of a 50 potency Dot tick not including Jinpu's buff.
-SAM never has to worry about a fight disturbing their resources like DRG and MNK do. Losing GL3 and BOTD hurts way more.
-Again, they decide usage and considering none of the Hissatsu has a long CD besides Guren, their movement is still very much great.
-60 Pot loss off a combo not using positionals? Compared to DRG who can lose 200+ in one combo now? And fights do have you ignoring positionals to not die.
