Gekko will pull through for you on high defensive mobs like its always done for sam in the past, however it wont match a buffed up fudo in the right situations, and at the end of it, it gets blown away with masamunes damage/aftermath output. I say probably because masa-sam is only roughly 11% behind a decked out vere monk(ya its not even that big as ppl make it out to be, more so with something as defensive as dragua maybe) However most things youll be fighting/farming youll probably be back tanking it anyhow(out the window goes overwelm) so your damage really drops. With atmas(power boosts to your character) like RR and SS which enhance your critical % by 30 and critical damage by 30% and the other atma giving and additional 30% to crit damage you start to fall behind the crit-ws jobs like war and monk, probably even nin and drg aswell. While sam does bring a good amount of red trigger weapons to the table, none of them are unique enough that war or nin cant cover.(red triggers = Key item drops, blue trigger = equip/acc drops)Īs far as damage goes, sam is one of the best/strongest jobs outside of abyssea, however inside it suffers from not having a crit-ws. However, other jobs provide more utility and damage over sam, namely warrior and ninja, aswell as monk in the damage department and blue triggers while the former 2 provide red triggers and damage. Why is SAM currently useless? I came back to FFXI last month, so.fill me in please?Its not entirely useless.
