It needs to compete with monk in terms of raw dps, and beat monk. The next hard thing is 2 range 2 melee, the 2 melee are optimally drg+nin for the raid dps gain and utility. Sam's personal dps has to compete with the damage lost from trick attack+eminity solutions, or litany+eye+piercing vuln. And that's next to impossible.
Yep. If they do as much as Nin and Trick Attack or DRG DRG is going to plummet fast, as Monk is really just a step away from a SAM really. Unless they buff Brotherhood down the line, but they seem scared to touch any buffs unless its for Ninja or DRG.
