Samurai needs damage buffs

Well i´ve actually claimed that the most just play 123 in a strict rotation, not me. I know how to play SAM and how to adapt to certain mechanics, because SAM has the possibilities to do that without combo breaks, burst window delays or whatever in the most cases.

Since you seem to care a lot about ff.logs, it doesn´t says all about optimization. First of all ff.logs takes parses from over 2 weeks and not of all time. Which means you can have a 99 because only "bad players" logged within the same time-window but your number decreases withing the following days. Just click on your own logs and you´ll see, that your 98 / 99 are gone. It´s only the momentum.

And if we talk about gameplay optimization, even someone with a 80% parse or maybe even 60% might play perfect. Maybe it just lacks of gear, bufffood or a good group? Lined up buffs do a lot as much as special party compositions. MNK´s Brotherhood is amazing with fast classes, MCH ftw! But with 2,5s SMN´s? Astro might be unlucky with cards? Or what´s with E11s Blue uptime or not? Not everyone is running for logs anyway.
A part of optimization is even to react to given circumstances and not like "Hüüüüh someone died, let´s go wipe, my RDPS!" or whatever.
It could even be a thing, that one SAM has a 95 log because the crit on Midare was not with him meanwhile the other has a critical-direct hit on it every time and the boss dies in a burst window.

Parses are not everything. Lately i had a 94 in levi unreal with my GNB. It´s not even my MT or well equipped. Imagine i would´ve used bufffood and potions, BIS gear, maybe... but who cares? My better half had a 98 in E12s, but had to use LB3. Imagine it´s her first MMORPG, she started with SHB as full-noob, raided the first time E5-8s, has major issues to remember mechanics and runs here and there from the platform. But hey, she learns and adapt.
Just because ppl don´t farm logs and don´t even do fights 100 times to optimize them perfectly, don´t mean that they´ve no clue or are bad players. May the E-Pen be with you.
