the situation with NIN and PLD are vastly different. Regarding PLD, while it is true their rotation can be considered the most complex, it's not really an accomplishment but more so a "tallest midget" situation. Aside from that, their damage output is more so accurately at second place, being shared with DRK. We're not talking several degrees of complexity nor damage disparity, but even then we're ignoring the obvious thing as to what makes PLD and NIN so desirable: their utility, it's why they're meta.

NINs don't complain because their trick attack gets them into parties. I don't see the same thing for SAM.


An advanced job would have to be a fixed slot kind of class in order to be more technical but somehow worth it, but we know the issues that come with that.
