Yup. Welcome to the world of Monk back in HW when a lot of raids went with DRG/NIN because they needed the utility and Monk had barely any raid utility in comparison.

I have no problem with SAM, in fact I would be delighted if they didn't kill monks playstyle and SAM and Monk could compete for that "high damage no utility" spot in a raid. I mean heck, the way I see it is you got BRD/MCH, you got BLM/SMN, you got DRG/NIN. So WHY when they give us Monk/SAM they ruin Monk. I wouldn't even care if Monk was second by a little, as long as they both hold the same position in a raid, just freaking make it fun again.

I'm glad you like SAM. I'm glad you have that "selfish DPS" persona. Feels nice to be independent, yeah? Great for solo play when you don't have your DPS in abilities that buff others. I remember it well and believe me I'll miss it. You're gonna get a lot of hate for this, so you may as well get use to it. Just be the best you can until it's your DPS that is the utility they need. I'll likely try SAM myself, but it will be a sad departure from Monk.
