SAM out classing all other DPS

[Enjuden]

Cause of what was it again? Oh right, Mantra.... given the gear at the time the help from it was bound to be needed. So I'd honestly expect that requirement to dwindle as people gear up. Once people are better geared, Mantra will become once more again, niche.

Ignoring evidence against your argument doesn't make your argument better, it makes it worthless. Losing less than 5% dps compared to the second job is not the end of the world. People need to realize this and stop whining about something that in the end, is entirely worthless to all but the top percentile. Which, if we go by the logic that you have, makes mantra not niche, but hilariously underused, and Samurai still got replaced regardless.
