So hows SAM doing? Still fun?

I'm not 100% convinced that SAM needs a buff so much as DRG and MNK need nerfs. Those two are absolutely over turned. BLM too.

Also Monk didn't get any actual damage buffs, it got entirely quality of life improvements, but no potency increases. The only possible buff monk got was the change to Riddle of Fire which lost it's increase to the GCD on the monk, but in turn also now buffs the monk's damage less. It's hard to say if the balance evened out or not, but might have been a slight buff? Much less than the buffs samurais got. Monk's changes were quality of life designed to make maintaining greased lightning easier.

That said I will reiterate that monks and dragoons are doing too much damage. Samurais might need a slight buff, and on the note of melee jobs in general, ninjas aren't doing enough. Hopefully the fix this because the melee balance is really bad right now.

Never ask for nerfs.
