SAM out classing all other DPS

[Dualgunner]

Niche? Going SAM or NIN Allows you to not need to pick WAR as a tank, so PLD/DRK tank composition it's not niche.

If it wasn't because of the fact that DRG was UP seeing a comp of PLD/DRK/SAM/DRG wouldn't be weird at all.

But you're GOING to have NIN because TA > All. Or, most will. Hence, niche.

And as soon as you bring a NIN, any unique utility SAM offered is gone.
