This may be true, but I never found it to make any sense, look at it like this.


Yes, you need one healer, however, you only need 1 healer, so if you were a healer, your chance at receiving an invite is 0 since the role is taken.

Yes, you need a tank, however, you only need 1 tank, so if you were a tank, your chance at receiving an invite is 0 since the role is taken.

Now, DD, you have MORE of a chance to receive the invite since 3 are needed, or more, per party, whereas if you were a healer/tank, you only have the chance if its for a replacement.

Then theres your refreshers, BRD and RDM, however, RDM is almost always accepted since it can both main heal, and refresh, as is BRD except it gives your partys extreme buffs instead of main healing.


In theory, I think everyone has the same chance at getting a party, though it might not seem that way, it basically comes down to what people think about each class, and what the leader thinks of you. Will a guy chose a DRG over a SAM? Technically, it is possible, the person could be a main job DRG and know the pain, and instead invite him due to pity. BRD and RDM are just more accepted because for one, there isn't many BRD's, so any party will take them the second they pop up, and RDM because they can refresh, debuff, main heal, and lots of other things.

I'm just rambling on because I'm bored, take this post as you will. Bottom line is, SAM's can get partys quite often, it just depends on your level, between 65 they can't open or close light skillchains, yet other jobs can, so that is frowned upon, but they still make great SATA partners and they can perform SATAWS very good with their 1 hit weaponskills.
