Samurai is what we need

Well they don't need to compete with any jobs, just add a whole new stats. Either agility heck may be charisma

How do you hit harder with a katana if you have better charisma than the other guy next to you? And agility is generally the same as dexterity. So no, a dps class with semi heavy (drg) armor and str accessories.

So basically raids would have either drg or Sam. But then again, katanas are quite sharp and could be considered piercing right

Lol nothing is surprising anymore in this, they could easily do that look at nin using dex.

That is very true, but having nin + "supportlol" + Sam in one raid. Good luck with accessories although, until tank dps is calculated with vit there's 2 tanks 1 drg and possibly a mnk to go for those str accessories so /shrug

Can't please everyone sadly

Your damage using a katana is based on your ability to call to the spirits in the swords, which relies on charisma! Or something.

But, yeah, I don't see the point in adding a whole new main stat just for one class to use, especially if it means they have to add in all new gear 1-50 or add those stats to existing gear.

Adding stats to existing gear isn't hard at all though. They already did it with MNK gear when NIN was first added. Slap the new stat on DRG armor, call it a day.

well i'd like to see in 4.0 SAM more as a dpstank like WAR ( and as MT focused on parrying /evading^^) , RDM as a magic melee dps (attacking with an estoc /rapier with enspells \o/), and maybe bluemage as a kinda support heal, similiar like AST, then we would have 2 mts, 2 ots , 4 melees, 4 ranged, 2 heals and 2 kinda like support heals

I hope they put SAM in as a DPS. I think part of me would die inside if they finally make a class with a katana and it was a tank. Especially since they have no actual sword DPS in the entire game (dual wielding short swords isn't really the same, IMO).
