SAM out classing all other DPS

[Sawamura]

DPS is literally the job. The focus on utility is getting absurd. Bonus utility is great, obviously but DPS is utility.

Even you said this way. Still people is too focus self dps number and ignore fact how raid progression work. dps number isn´t for like hey dude look how much damage i just did.
All new raid is always about how make to keep party survive mechanic and clear it before enrage with minium gear level. Once everybody has higher gear level and learn mechanic is where dps number come in and speedrun like skip phase and farms.
This thread is make it sound like. There is no need to bring another job and just bring bunch of samurais to clear content to me.

Sorry for weird english. hope you understand what I mean.

I can agree with this statement. SE made a design change to add utility to dps at the cost of their actually numbers. People judge jobs based off of parsers and flogs; yet this tools aren't calculating buffs onto the player that casted it so they look weaker; flogs doesn't even track radiant shield let alone add that damage to the SMN that casted.

All of those buffs ARE quantifiable. There are literally numbers associated with them as well, you're just pretending no one cares about them.
