It's more "I don't want to be responsible for anything the entire instance". Which most cases you could go with a a Tank and Healer and clear content. Since they are the only ones with a lot of responsibility. The only thing the DPS has to do is dodge shit and deal damage. And sometimes they fail at even that.

The only reason I've seen for SAM to be DPS is because people want a DPS with a Sword for aesthetically reasons. And offer little room for unique concepts and think very little about what SAM can offer compared to the other DPS classes. If they do piercing DMG it's a backseat Dragoon. If it's Slashing it will be a beefier Ninja.

Which honestly if RDM makes it as a bonafide Magic Tank I'll let SAM be whatever it wants. Quite tired of the same shit for every other class.
