New Job Trait for Samurai. Bushido: Dual Wielding Great Katanas.

[Alukat]

Edit: And also, With regards to offhanding Kanesada-types because they're light, Wouldn't it still raise the problem if you're say.. Mainhanding a Masamune? I mean the Kanesada is light but wouldn't Masa still require 2 hands?

not if your equipment gives str+50 xD

Holy Shit, and I thought the Blue Mages asking for Shell/Protect/HasteII/Reraise/Raise/Phalanx/Meteoer/Death/Curse/Plague/Comet/Odin


Were bad.

This thread hurts me in too many ways imaginable.

Screw it, not worth bothering. This thread is dumb.

I wish I had your common sense...

at the risk of sounding like a complete tool, ill offer my two cents.

one way or another sam should have a dagger/katana like weapon. sam already has dagger skill itself but id say it should have its own specific style of dagger or katana.

some people mention that wakizashi could be a candidate. i agree with this. SE could make a wakizashi skill and have it supplement great katana, or let it be only a mainhanded weapon.

the idea of traditional samurai being honorable brings another idea to mind. someone posted that samurai would use a wakizashi to murder themselves when they failed a mission. and i was thinking of a way to spin off of this. i was thinking of a job trait or an ability that inflicts damage on the user when said user misses a ws. a dot or amount of dmg is done to the sam but it increases its attack speed or attack. another option is that it inflicts doom status. i like to think of it as a combination of souleater, mijin gakure and sublimation.

some of these ideas may seem a little far fetched but whats so wrong with letting ones imagination run wild. if anyone else has any ideas or some criticism/adjustment to my ideas please speak up.

If it hasn't already been said, it'll never happen.

This. If SAM gets Dual Wield Great Katanas, then I want DRKs to have a Floating Scythe like Evil Weapons have for Swords, Axes and whatnot.

It ain't happening either way.

Well, floating weapons is something you can do with dats, you can make that happen. To karbuncle, in my original post/first page that main handing a great katana like masamune and off handing a kanesada type blade= slower atk speed for the sake of faster tp gain. something like footwork, but hopefully not that slow. Zell your idea about inflicting self dmg from harakiri(sp i think) to boost atk sounds nice. Other 2h jobs getting their own unique form of dual wield following the history of the game/RL history would be sweet as well. I posted this thread in hopes SE officials would look at it and consider it. But ive had the most fun reading others positive suggestions that differ from my own.
