As someone who mains SAM in both PVE and PVP it's this
>LB takes literally half the match to generate, most jobs will be able to LB you before you will ever be able to LB them
>can easily just miss the LB due to various reasons unless you specifically just use it on 1 person, basically forcing you to save it for a clutch on the crystal or don't bother
>chiten has such a massively long fucking CD that you maybe only get to use it once per life depending on how much your team is getting fucked and is pretty much the only way you can avoid getting completely melted (comapre this to snake scales kek)
>meikyo being a 2nd purify is nice, that is until like all the other melees your MP goes byebye the moment their team has a BRD and/or WHM (which they will)
>the cast times aren't too bad, but you will get cucked if they just slightly move out of ranged pretty often
Despite the fact that its shit it's still the job I have the most fun playing, so I will keep playing it

>see M8S PoVs for my job
>see the mechs, then guides, then back to the PoVs and feel like I can 100% get through it and clear wth enough time and luck
I CAN DO THIS.

hit the fucking gym
hit your buttons
do content
don't get groomed

KAITEN WILL RETURN IN 8.0...!!!

and even then, you can't make current drk lose hp because it'd just be a volatile job that doesn't function with the current battles, people think that jobs should be X but they never think about how that job would play out with the encounters that they design
it's a thing that goes both ways
encounter design makes the changes on jobs and changes on the jobs change encounter design, if it was up to me this game would be different and if it was up to you it'd also be different but sadly that's not the case so we can't be asking for things that could be better that won't work, you don't have the foresight to see how the shitty changes you want or that i want would change the game so we have to go on the scope of what we have at the moment and build from it
NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THE
>HURR MAKE DRK DIFFERENT PLS
SHIT WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS DIE
