I've been getting back into SAM recently and I definitely agree with this perspective. I actually really enjoy current SAM on a mechanical level but there's no question it just feels a little too.. spammy to really capture the job fantasy. It's one of the elements that the job lost when it lost Kaiten really, that more measured and focused feel. There are melee jobs that would definitely work with the "hit a million times a second" identity but SAM just really isn't one of them.
