Is Samurai a difficult class to play?

SMN is harder too, if you are actually playing it properly and making optimal use of its many CDs.

I gave up playing BLM because the lag levels I get on an NA server just aren't fun, whereas they're not as punishing on SAM. I don't really like the style or aesthetic of the other melee jobs.

Every dps class, besides RDM, is harder than SAM.
