SAM out classing all other DPS

[KuroTenshi]

DPS is literally the job. The focus on utility is getting absurd. Bonus utility is great, obviously but DPS is utility.

Well sam was dropped for v4s apparently because of it's lack of utility so, I guess you can argue something that has, in practice, proven to not be true?

Yes, a situational substitution absolutely disproves all empirical evidence to the contrary. Thanks.

Tfw a person complains about another class when they can't even hit higher numbers on their own class...

Cause of what was it again? Oh right, Mantra.... given the gear at the time the help from it was bound to be needed. So I'd honestly expect that requirement to dwindle as people gear up. Once people are better geared, Mantra will become once more again, niche.

Ignoring evidence against your argument doesn't make your argument better, it makes it worthless. Losing less than 5% dps compared to the second job is not the end of the world. People need to realize this and stop whining about something that in the end, is entirely worthless to all but the top percentile. Which, if we go by the logic that you have, makes mantra not niche, but hilariously underused, and Samurai still got replaced regardless.

This literally doesn't matter at all. The fact of the matter is this supposedly overpowered class has been ~dropped~ for another one. If it was as overpowered as people make it out to be to have high damage that never would have happened. Farming as fast as possible is cool but progression is the only thing that matters. If you can clear it once you can clear it again and if you only have to do it once a week 1 extra minute means jack shit. Yoshi may not be balancing for defensive utility but it's still just as important as offensive utility.
