The post was speaking about potency for attacks, not about raid-wide buffs or debuffs. People can't just go changing the context of something to suit themselves. It's disingenuous. If you're going that route then I can say that NIN far outperforms SAM because it has infinitely more rDPS, and all it has to do is nail a single positional. As Xephna stated, I wasn't referring to anything else but potency on positional attacks. Not rDPS. Not raid buffs/debuffs. Simple attack potency.
