This is without pots so we save them for Nidprog, and our comp isn't an optimal comp - this is just to define how much of a difference NIN's burst brings to the Ultimate.

You can reason for the developers, but when you look at Ninja's performance you can't say there aren't other jobs with a clear problem in this Ultimate (they even created one in the same patch as killing SAM). As for another example, having Dancer will make targetable meteors a joke even with deaths. Their "fix" didn't fix anything aside removing one job from being considered for most groups. If you have to change several jobs to accommodate for one piece of content, I will respectfully disagree that it's well designed.

People overseas have started compromising/making suggestions on things like removing cast bars (no thank you), turn shinten into old warrior's fell cleave stacks (no thank you), and keeping kaiten removed in exchange for the addition of guaranteed direct hits (no). I want the changes reverted in full and for them to work on it from scratch if it is that important to rework a previously perfectly functional job. If only they would work on jobs that actually needed the help, god forbid.
Dear God, I hope those suggestions don't come to fruition. I want SAM back. If I want to play WAR, I'll go level that again.

I second the opinions of revert to 6.08 and implore the devs to actually think about what should be done (if at all) with SAM going forward. The whole issue that they seem to be trying to address is the very additions they've made in the last couple expansions.

Honestly, Misshapen Chair's video response about the 6.1 announcement is pretty apt at pointing these details out already. So if they want video content addressing their idea, that's a good start.

I just want my job to be fun again.
