SAM improvements that needed in the next patch.

[cactuarzzzz]

Okay, we're itemizing now... fortunately there is a limit post, so we both should run out pretty soon!

4) This is a hyperbole statement. All players deal with AoE's, casters could say the same about the donut mechanic. These are hardly so disruptive that at-tier raid groups forego melee.

5) Nope, instead you have a rotation where 80%+ of your abilities that provide the largest portions of your overall damage are instant cast. Literally 1 to 3 1.3 second casts across the entirety of what Samurai does: Midare, Tsubame, Higanbana.

6) Usually these moves are telegraphed, and most of them are scripted. A little situational awareness will tell you that normally, you're safe to cast and then respond. You will generally have that much time.

7) Samurai beats them all, currently, at end game. So why are we fixing it right now for the next patch? You may have a case of Black Mage being too high vs Samurai in certain situations, but being that most of their damage is cast-based... it doesn't go far at all to proving your point of Iaijutsu/Tsubame having a cast time adversely impacts Samurai to a point that it needs to be adjusted.

4.How many Donut in the entire game compared to a point blank aoe?

5.20% is very important.

6.It doesn't change the fact that SAM can't cast but Caster have no problem during that time which show the significant different between them.

7.Beat them all? Are you sure that SAM is now the top candidate of melee dps for the raid and the trial? SAM's performance is now the top?

8? Why we should appreciate the unneccessary dps loss from the long cast [Hello Titania EX's Frost Rune& Up lift - Add Phase 2.0 and so on] When DRN having a problem with jump they ask for improvement and they get it. When MCH have a problem with the old skills and asking for improvement they got it and they're happy now. I saw no reason for other people to hinder the improvement of the class that they don't main and love.

But these are just material gripes... not worth chasing when classes like Ninja, Dancer, and AST are ailing and genuinely need some help.

I don't get why people have an idea like this, that shoudn't happen when all SAM,NIN,DNC,AST and let not forget SCH could all get improvement.
