I suspect it's more because V6S is more or less a target dummy, SAMs can maintain far better uptime whereas the rest impact them pretty heavily.

I know, but im just curious as to what numbers SAMs are getting.
When we ran with pug SAMs, they ranged from 3.5k to 5.1k (most in the 4.8k range)
So I assumed BLm did more DPS than SAM there, so I was surprised to hear they said SAMs are doing better than BLMs there. (We've only ever had that 1 BLM, so idk whats normal for BLM there.)

Plus, when we had the SAM who did 5.1k DPS, he was ripping threat off our WAR MT, who, was doing 4k DPS, using unchained after every zerk window, until it was time to fell cleave, getting voke/shirked by the PLD, and the SAM was using diversion the moment it was off CD. (We checked fflogs to make sure)
PLD was doing 3k DPS.

The SAM was holding back on DPS, in order to not get Tank Bustered constantly (He was getting killed by the tank buster every fight, so he stopped trying as hard). So We know he could have done more DPS, but we werent sure how much more he could have done, considering our group was pretty much maxing out what a non tank stance tank can generate in threat, w/o a NIN.
(I should also mention our group doesnt try to align raid buffs, so theres a bit of RNG added to when they go off, but we all try to pop them roughly at the same points in the fight. SAM, MNK, RDM and BRD in the case of a SAM pugged)
