SAM out classing all other DPS

[Ryaz]

Is this the shortbus section of the forums or something?

You're here, so I'd say yes.

No ones saying that Sam should have overall more contribution than other classes, but that they need more personal dps to make up for the lack of synergy. You take away Sam's strong dps, you're left with a class that brings nothing that others can't bring plus more. No one believes Samurai have more right to be chosen than other jobs.

I agree that it's a bad design decision to have one selfish dps and several dps with synergy abilities because it's extrenely hard to balance (at least without people freaking out about numbers). Frankly, I think buffs, debuffs and the like should be left to the healers and tanks so that they can contribute a bit more damage to the raid themselves (and they can be balanced better instead of AST being a clear choice) and then just focus on the dps classes doing dps.
