    Looks like someone doesn't understand balance between DPS and Utility. I'm not going to list Role Actions since they're not exclusive to any one Job.

    MNK has Mantra for 20% increased healing and Brotherhood for increased physical damage.

    DRG has Piercing resist down, which benefits DRG/BRD/MCH, Battle Litany for group crit rate, and Dragon Sight for minor DPS buff for DRG+another person.

    NIN has 10% increased damage on a target every 60 seconds along with party-targeted aggro management tools.

    SAM has ZERO group utility that isn't provided by another Job. None. Nothing. That's because their high damage IS the utility! They make up for their Utility deficit by being a DPS powerhouse at the expense of not increasing raid DPS.

    If you're not convinced I'll be glad to list the utilities BRD/MCH/SMN/RDM have.

    I won't bother touching your comment about SAM being as easy as WAR. It's Apples and Oranges when it comes to comparing DPS and Tank rotations. Just because you read up on rotations and saw them doesn't make them easy to execute right away.

    They have a slashing debuff which helps nin, drk, pld, and war.

    A slashing debuff that NIN naturally applies in the 4.0 rotation with 0 DPS loss. Remember, I said EXCLUSIVE to SAM. WAR/NIN/SAM all apply slashing resist down in their main rotations.

    Try again.
