I concur, B skill would be only right for SAM imho.

And the autumn of life has finally come
with the promise of winter thaw.
Thanks for putting this out there. I wasn't quite aware just how jipped we are compared to other jobs. Technically if you wanted to be picky about it, we could have a relic pole-arm before we have a relic bow as far as skill rank is concerned. Not that I want that pole-arm, just that B skill.

Samurai Archery is said to be a thing of the past, but it isn't dead yet!
Crossing my fingers that the new Relic armor upgrades will have some benefit to SAM archery :/ Belt and Head had ranged acc on them already so maybe we'll get a boost on those pieces at least ^^
Also, it occurs to me that they randomly raised PUP's H2H skill a while back. Wonder if SE would be willing to do this for SAM's archery as well.
Would be nice to see Camate pop his head in here and say "hi"!
I completely forgot about Saotome Kabuto, because the RAcc on it was so minimal. That would be a good place to put it, right along with the belt piece.
Also, nice touch with the PUPdate. We would indeed like some feedback from devs for either yay or nay (or the classic 'we're looking into it'-maybe)!

Overwhelm: "Grants a damage bonus to weapons skill performed face-to-face with an enemy"
if your shooting it from a ways away (not melee range) then why would you expect the bonus your no longer face to face with that mob if your not up close and personal.
B- in archery would be ok, anything more is overpowered. As far as other jobs getting more than one A ranked skill, Sam has too much going on with its awesome abilites to be given another A rank skill.
Little love from the test server
Saotome Kabuto +2
DEF:33 HP+28 STR+5
Attack+9 Accuracy+9
Ranged Attack+15
Ranged Accuracy+15
Lv.99 SAM
I will concede the face-to-face argument, but shouldn't bow WSs from "melee" range be subject to overwhelm bonus?

You're my new best friend Hyden. Round II, how do we get it?
Good point on Overwhelm. I'll concede as well. Even if you're up close, you'll still be suffering from ranged bonuses. As for A skill, I'd never expect something so glorious. B- at a minimum, though B would be awesome.
Just throwing this out there, the fact that they did give bonuses to Saotome Kabuto shows that they haven't forgotten us! There is hope!
>.<
Looks like there was some bad translation on stats. Guess it's more like:
Saotome Kabuto +2
DEF:33 HP+28 STR+5
Attack+15 Accuracy+15
Ranged Attack+9
Ranged Accuracy+9
Lv.99 SAM
Still nice, but not quite as cool ; ; Makes sense since the +1 is Racc+7 and Acc+12.

well, less accuracy than the current equipment I use, but still props to the RAtt. That is something we've always had to struggle with.
