Yes

No. Sam gets TP faster, attacks faster, does will WS more times, will do higher average dmg/ws, ect. I've never partied with a single sam who used a polearm who never ws'ed less than 1000 in a party. Sure, they may get the RARE 1500+, but most the time they do like 900 damage. I'd like to see a sam out do me per-ws every time. If they beat me half the time i'd be impressed. With great katana they do even less. They may ws more often but they hit for 700-900 most the time with those ws's.
And if you caclulate the amount of damage added by that 10% haste samba to the 5 total DD's, and the effect of the evasion/defense down debuffs on TOP of the good damage a dancer can do, i'm sure you'll see a dnc adds more total damage to a party than a sam ever could.

Quite simply in other words it reads:
I have never partied with a sam who hits 1000+ every weaponskill.

Note where it says low/average/high
Average is the average damage of all my pentas in the said party.
in the 2nd parse, kny is also sam polearm.

If i get CLOSE to going below 1k it's cuz i missed 2 or 3 hits. That's like saying you can't go through a party w/o hitting less than 1k. My point still stands my averages are always in the 1.4-1.5k range. You know why my lows are that low? Its because killshot. Its a simple concept. Let's say the mob is at 30% and me and Kny fire off at the same time. His penta goes first and leaves the mob with 1-5%. My first hit kills the colibri, and the remaining 4 automatically miss. That is how multi hit ws' work.

That's a fact of life when the accuracy cap is 95%. Back to the averages please, your point has no value.

Dancing Edge is a multi hit weaponskill too, or did you forget? It's probably due largely to the fact that a) dancer has a lot of ws acc, b) I'm a mithra, and c) dnc ws's in acc and attack gear only. You'll see a lot of people try to use CHR and DEX, but they're idiots. That's why you see some dnc's WS for so low.

You acknowledged your WS is multihit but conveniently ignored the fact that Penta Thrust is too. The only person "forgetting" anything here is you.

You are either very good at selective reading or very bad at comprehension. The reason the low on those parses are that low is because the mob died on the first or second hit of the WS and the following hits automatically miss/don't connect.

I never said it wasnt a multi hit ws... You guys are the ones bringing it up lol. Yea, penta misses a lot of hits often as sam cuz their skill is gimp, get a drg out there who's properly geared and you'll see a big increase.

Good SAMs can and do reach 90%+ accuracy at bird camp with Polearm without relying on food to do so, another invalid point.

Oh, another thing that should be tossed out there. Haste samba doesn't add towards any haste cap. If you're 100% capped out on magic haste, gear haste, job ability haste, EVERYTHING... and you add a dancer, the 10% haste still applies.

Let me break this down to a language that even you can hopefully understand.
Go to south gustaburg. Go spam Dancing Edge on those monsters. I guarantee you won't do 1k dmg. Why? Because you will kill it with the first hit of the WS, which means the other hits will not land/be thrown/ect. It's called overkill.

Curious to see how people would rank the different damage dealing jobs according to best damage output. No restrictions on gear; looking for the very best.
I know right now everyone is all "sam sam sam" but I think a pimped out WAR trumps it. Also BLM is up there somewhere.
