SAM out classing all other DPS

[Allyrion]

yes, there are fights, that force melee put of range,.. and what does Sam have for that problem? a gab-increaser that buffs it's ranged dps move (enpi), followed up by a gab-closer move.., Sam has the perfect solution for such fights,

do mnks and ninja have such perfect answers?. only drg does, but it's dps is/was too low

MNK's Form Shift and Meditation allow ways to increase/maintain dps while having to peel off the boss. It's not much less effective in terms of damage but it does lack the mobility (and hence fluidity) of dealing with such situations.

NIN has less damage increasing tools from downtime but are arguably(easily too) the least affected of all the melee by such mechanics and Ninjutsu being ranged is relevant.

I don't think it needs to be equal in that regard, just once everyone has some mechanics that alleviate those disruptions. They all do, and actually I would argue DRG is probably the worst off since their charge is significantly longer while also used for damage. They also didn't get the mobility increases like MNK did.
