If I could choose, every time, I would still have the Samurai who uses positionals to maximize their meter gain and use more of their OGCD skill than the Samurai who thinks they're ONLY "nice to hit", doesn't try to hit them at all, and then complains about them on the forums.

I'm hardly the best Samurai, I don't even raid for Savage/Ultimate, and I still try to hit those positionals whenever I can because I understand that they help me do that little extra bit of damage. If I'm helping the boss die that little bit faster, I'm helping contribute to the team that little bit more. It's not about my own numbers alone, there are 3 or 7 or 23 other players whose own time in the game is as valuable to them as mine is to myself.

In my mind, there are two types of selfish DPS. There's the Jobs that contribute little to others mechanically beyond hitting hard, and then there's the DPS player that slums it because they know someone else will pick up the slack and they want the game to conform to their preferences every patch. The game shouldn't be catering to or balanced entirely around the latter.
Pretty sure in one of the other threads, someone mathed it out and it was a tiny percent
