Overwhelm. Weaponskill frequency. Sekkanokki.This statement makes me wonder how much you actually play xi. Drakesbane will completely outdo penta on a well geared drg. It's also exclusive to the job, and was in place for a long time before the level cap increase past 75. I don't see how a sam can outdd a drg/sam that's using drakes on peircing weak mobs...
It could be done with an good party setup. 3 DRG/mage need not apply.
I bet there won't even be a jump button. I foresee jumping in XIV being similar to Link's auto-jump in 3D Zelda games. Those little ledges and overhangs that we hate getting trapped on now, forcing us to work our way down and around the long way will now be met with an auto-jump action and animation that will allow us to keep going and never be held-up by said ledges and overhangs ever again. That's how it will be done if the developers have any sense on the matter.
I personally have not been arguing what was pimpest.I was told there was carrot cake and vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles.

To the new non-jump related point:
Seriously though, there's no point arguing about what job was pimpest in XI they all had ups and downs, I only played all 20 to 99 once or twice each across my accounts. I didn't gear them all equally because well that would have taken forever but I've seen mnks out perform sams who outperform wars who outperform wars who outperform mnks who out perform drks that outperform pups that outperform sams that cycle has no beginning and no end. It's part of why I leveled every job, not one was truly better than another in ALL situations. DRG pentaspam before the "fix" to multihit WS TP returns was just stupid. WARs at points with some skills SAMs had their turn. Again a list with no real start and no real end, remember when BLMs where the job you'd hold out for then a couple years later you couldn't get a xp party on BLM cause they had been nerfed. BST is one that mostly stayed consistent but then again it became useful in a pt and not too.
I loved my PUP ^^
Get a Sam to continuously solo Greater Colibri, without outside help and without 2hr. I'm waiting
You're wondering why I wasn't using Drakesbane? Again, I never even said I was the best DRG out there - I didn't even have that much endgame gear. There were a few more just on Fairy alone that were far better than me and then I met some on Diabolos and Remora that could take anything I did and wash the floor with me. I was nothing compared to them in ability.Also, why weren't you using Drakesbane?
But you could just join or make a party, not being antisocial is a great start.I personally have not been arguing what was pimpest.

If you were on fairy you must have known Vegetto. If you want an example of a great SAM who could out DD any DRG, there it is.
And you could quit talking out of your ass.
Oh yes, I knew Vegetto quite well. Some Sams out-damaged Drgs, and some Drgs out-damaged Sams. At the end of the day though, you're the one arrogantly claiming that Samurai was the end-all/be-all DD, and I'm sure Vegetto knows better.If you were on fairy you must have known Vegetto.

I'm guessing you never went to ffxiah.com or BG because Vegetto consistently said that, with math to back up the claims.And you could quit talking out of your ass.

And actually not being antisocial was a great way to get parties. Not that you'd know, but yeah.
You're right, I didn't bother with FFXIAH or BG much. I do know one thing though - Sam never was the end-all/be-all job.
Except I wasn't antisocial and enjoyed partying, but you wouldn't know to begin with. All you got are ASSumptions.And actually not being antisocial was a great way to get parties. Not that you'd know, but yeah.
