SAM out classing all other DPS

[Galvuu]

RDM need to go in melee for them burst, then get ahead of blm is normal... whenever a jobs need to get in melee they need to take risk. and i will post this.

I'll only address this. I raid with RDM a lot, and this is just utterly wrong.
In fact, I tend to stay in melee the whole fight so I don't have to move much for my melee combo (heck, I have Dualcast for that, but why even do that when I can just sit there) and to stack puddles in Susie to help the melee. I also don't even need to move for the share, so being in melee helps overall uptime (and I get autos in for 70 damage, I guess). There's like no risk. I feel much more in danger when I'm away- farther from healers (idk if you knew, but the aoe heals tick radially- if you have any latency, the nearest people get their HP back half a second faster. This was an issue in A11S if you wanted to dps thru the burn... plus, the healers migh position a bit closer to the tank and I may end up out of range), have to sprint if I get tagged by a share...
The same is true for Lak. The only boss where I stand away right now is Exdeath for Void T3. On Halicarnassus the fight is so much smoother if you're on top of her for the ribbit cone aoe.
I never felt on RDM that I was better served being far from the boss except in Exdeath.
