Thread: 4.05 DPS Ranking Expectations

Those circumstances vary and dont account for the vast dps difference between the two jobs, as I have said. However, if that base premise is true (that melee are greater effected by mechs) it would mean that making BLM=SAM or BLM>SAM in terms of dps would effectively make SAM obsolete.

SAM brings slashing debuff, if you don't have WAR you could bring a SAM instead of NIN. And if you are saying that you would always bring NIN, maybe NIN needs a nerf.

I think its been obvious for a while that NIN needs a nerf, I don't know of any serious comp that doesn't have one - even back in 3.X. I was shocked that it was actually buffed for SB.
