2) SAM is usually switched in just for WS. WS give practically static amounts of TP to the mob; in a SAM's case, about 18 TP per hit. Subtle blow +6 reduces this by a paltry 1 TP per SAM ws; over the course of a fight this is virtually never going to be noticeable. On the other hand, every time ninja casts ninjutsu and deals damage, which one will typically be spamming for hate while tanking a hnm that is hard to hit, the mob gains a fixed amount of TP (10%?). In addition to Ninja's natural +25 SB, the sash will reduce the TP that the hnm gets from the ninja tank by an additional 8%. Therefore, for mob TP gain reasons, the sash is better on a NIN.
