Dancer, Dragoon and Scholar all suffer now for having one as their respective raid buffs won't impact any of Samurai's big hits. While this isn't a massive deal to the wider majority, it does effect the raid scene to an extent, especially the higher up. You already lost roughly 300 rDPS for Warrior existing in a crit comp. A DPS having such a handicap with be noticeably worse and make any WAR/SAM pairing borderline unviable with the aforementioned jobs. Less so Dancer as they can at least partner the other DPS but Bard doesn't want to be anywhere near a Warrior.
A 3 % DPS difference is borderline unviable? give me a break man.
Sure,yes, its counter- logical that another class now benefits less from crit buffs.
