That being said, just because world first switched to MNK for the final tier doesn't all of a sudden make SAM useless. SAM is less defensive yes but Y'all need to stop looking at what the 1% are doing so much, it's unhealthy. SAM still provides like 100 more rDPS on average than MNK but just because it wasn't on the first kill doesn't make it any less powerful, especially in the hands of an unskilled player (which is the design philosophy of the devs this expansion, and as someone who got samurai as my last melee at 70, it is definitely true)
The thing is, what happens at the top bleeds down into the bottom.

The fact that a multitude of the "Obsolete" jobs were not only included but used in day 1 clears is a giant middlefinger to everyone who's all "I like this job but the number just isn't there"
