    But we can't let the mindset of "bigger numbers means a better class" cloud our vision, especially when it's data collected from test dummies.
    Sure, fights will change but we're already seeing problems with just dummies and fights with 20s downtime. DRG is a prime example: on a dummy it is... "ok", but in a fight with any downtime we get hosed out of our eyes. Compared to NIN, they can pop huton and move along like nothing happened.

    Overall, yes SAM is ridiculously powerful right now, as is RDM too honestly (though is anyone shocked the 2 new classes which killed DPS queues are extremely powerful?)
