SAM out classing all other DPS

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

for normal farming, any dps will do ofc,.. especially after 4.95 (even though still see only one caster and one ranged often allowed)

but we're talking about either (world) first kill tries or (world) fastest speed kills..., or pfs, that want to speed farm

And SAM wasn't present for world first kills for most statics, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that your worries are unfounded. Melee are mostly well balanced, except DRG. Which... was present in most world firsts regardless. Working as intended?

Ranged needs work, RDM is still way too strong and MCH is worthless, but melee aren't that out of whack.
