SAM out classing all other DPS

[HyoMinPark]

No tank has an aggro problem, unless you're in dungeons and both dps ST a different mob in a pack, or you're in raid trying to optimize dps while your co-tank doesn't know how to shirk.

It's completely likely to get tanks that cannot manage aggro well. I have met many in DF lately that lose aggro to me while I am AOEing a large trash pack, because they fail to rotate properly between mobs. Just want to point out that there are tanks out there that have aggro problems.


With regards to this thread topic, SAM is the highest in terms of personal DPS. But they have absolutely no raid utility whatsoever to bring to the table other than that raw damage. They don't provide any buffs that other jobs don't already have, and they cannot provide any sort of party support functions (e.g., MP or TP refresh like BRD/MCH). I personally don't think they need to be nerfed. Let there be a big deeps DPS job; just because SAM outshines BRD in terms of personal DPS doesn't mean that I find BRD any less appealing or enjoyable (besides, I got used to being low on the DPS totem pole until the end of Heavensward when BRDs had some of the highest personal DPS providing they had all the right conditions). If I want to see big-dick numbers, I break out SAM. If I want to play a job I am the most familiar and comfortable with, I break out BRD. That won't change for me, and I doubt it would change for anyone else who has a non-SAM main.

(Though, I do still go .___. at SE adding a second MNK to the game after they commented on how MNK had such a lack of raid utility.)
