"fast" clears (like under 8 min kills), for "fast (and multiple)" farming and for "speed kills on fflogs", you'd want Sam; ..doesn't matter if your over-geared or not, you want the highest dps comp for that fight; in such comps/metas, Sam still fits in well

there are scenarios, where Sam fits into metas,.. just with 4.05, there might not be one meta for all,.. nor maybe for 1st clears.. or for fast clears,.. even 1st clears might now have more meta possibilities, same for fast clears (blm might actually be part of some, and with that maybe smn too), with 4.05 it's more open, even if nin might still seem very favoured,
on the otherhand nin/Sam fits together well too (or is it a lose to have them together??)
