I'm reading this and I'm confused. SAMs don't really help tanks or ninjas in that sense. Ninjas and WARs apply the slashing debuff FAR earlier than a SAM possibly could outside of Meikyo Shisui, and if a SAM chooses to use their opener to get a slashing debuff up, that hurts their overall rotation. SAM is literally pure pDPS...they don't really have raid utility in the same sense that the other DPS classes do. Even BLM can provide utility, like mana shift. I know that with WARs, on an optimized rotation, their literal second skill, Maim, applies a slashing debuff.
