SAM out classing all other DPS

[Shiroe]

don't know how drg 4.05 fairs, but if it's like blm 4.05 (seems good at first and has its merit, but still not fixed looking at raid comps and rdm), than there is still balancing needed..

maybe a slight rdm nerf? or another slight blm & smn buff? (Smn should be on par with rdm, even if it's aoe might seem better)? besides another drg buff? (lower piercing buff but increase own dps??)

melee aside of drg (which had love in HW, most used melee), have somehow received more love than the casters/ranged of general ..., exception rdm (and Brd seems ok, .. brd got more love than mch, after mch got so much on the last third of HW?)

it's like the constant cycle of getting love, when they last didn't get any and vice versa... (few exceptions and not consistant intervals)

I think the RDM and BLM discrepancy could be fixed via adjusting potencies alone. BLM still needs some rework on that since variations on the 3.x rotation are nearly identical to 4.05 rotations which is silly. I think with the reasoning they used to justify SAM's DPS, that same logic should put BLM's DPS ahead of SAM's since it is punished by mechanics more than SAM is. Still, I think RDM just is too good of a pick over BLM (and SMN) with the damage levels it brings and utility.

SMN's going to take more than just potency adjustments. The issues are deeper rooted.

I think instant veraise also needs to become less strong and/or less spammable. As it stands it is hugely useful, especially in learning new fights.
