DPS Balance Thread

Sam doesn't have to compete with blm. Range slots vs melee slots.

It needs to compete with monk in terms of raw dps, and beat monk. The next hard thing is 2 range 2 melee, the 2 melee are optimally drg+nin for the raid dps gain and utility. Sam's personal dps has to compete with the damage lost from trick attack+eminity solutions, or litany+eye+piercing vuln. And that's next to impossible.

Yep. If they do as much as Nin and Trick Attack or DRG DRG is going to plummet fast, as Monk is really just a step away from a SAM really. Unless they buff Brotherhood down the line, but they seem scared to touch any buffs unless its for Ninja or DRG.

Snip.

I don’t see them buffing BH down the line. It’s actually good for what it is as a raid buff. Though, yeah. Potency increases to all of SAM’s Kit would probably help alleviate the situation some and bring it past MNK DPS levels without BH. If SAM can meet MNK’s DPS throughout an entire fight with Brotherhood included it’d at least be a viable thing to run I’d imagine.

If they had to touch DRG or NIN, I’d bet they’d touch TA and make it a 5% rDPS debuff and compensate the damage. For DRG we need Disembowel removed/reworked to get rid of our current issue that was addressed earlier.
