Most challenging and wanted DPS class?

[Shiroe]

melee:

for me drg 50 and 60 where the easiest melee imo, at 68 still feels easier than sam at 68 or mnk at 60 (punishment is another issue)

skill "floor" of sam is lowish, the skill "ceiling" of sam is high, just the sam sometimes gets/hogs dps buffs, making average sam seem very good at times

i often hear sam and nin have the highest skill ceiling for melee dps (mnk close 2nd)

but nin is more wanted, the most wanted melee next to drg (but mnk is more desirable than sam, unless the party has no nin and no war tank)

even if "imo" drg is the "easiest" melee, its still lots of fun sofar and still has a good skill ceiling for mastering it + has the coolest melee glamour ^^
overall most challenging melee: sam = nin =/> mnk > drg
most wanted melee: drg =/> nin > mnk =/> sam

(but seems nin is the most server ping dependent melee, but not bad)

most endraids and the "meta" comps have 2 melee (drg & nin), but a sam (slashing) or mnk (mantra/ brotherhood) are sometimes valid
