Job Adjustments manifesto Discussion

*yawns* nothing interesting there.

How about another Melee and Ranged WS for automatons somewhere between 95-99. Also, not sure if any other PUPs have this problem, but Valoredge's dmg output seems kinda lacking.

Thanks for the information Bayohne, but I only have one gripe.

Samurai. Weapon skill. Accuracy.

It's like, already 99%.

Actually to "Where" the questions were coming from, go check out your local broken-job-r-us forum (Samurai forum) Some of their requests (like the TP bonus trait*) make me wonder if they even want to consider playing with other people or if they really think they can be like the Samurais in various anime and 1hit KO everything in one fell swoop. :x


*If Samurai gets this I will be severely disappointed, if Store TP were not enough? Currently they can make a 4 hit build, can you imagine a 4hit build hasted with a TP bonus of +100 (as I am sure if SE gives it to SAM it will be tiered and the final tier will be 100, since they like to throw out all reason on this job).

Having said this, don't get my message wrong, dear Samurais of Vana'diel, I like the initial IDEA of the job, but it seems like Square-Enix themselves have fallen from what their original plans for the job were going to be: A job that can build TP quickly and share said TP to work as a team to create powerful skillchains. Now it seems to has skewed into: A job that can build TP quickly and can do so in a many wherein it needs not share said TP, instead can benefit more from just solo-skill-chaining effortlessly and almost continuously.

It's funny to me, that instead of beefing up DRK and DRG to a better level, they beef up SAM; and instead of making SAM better in terms of helping the party (buffing up other players SCs/WSs/MBs and not themselves), they just continue to blindly throw abilities at it. DRK and DRG don't need to have any more party aspects to them, they need to be stronger, and SAM needs more PARTY HELPING (not self helping) abilities.

I think samurai should have shikai and bankai.
Customized also, obviously.

[Draylo]

Wow those people who asked those questions must be terrible players. If you want a ability that automatically stuns something so you don't have to lift your fat finger to actually PLAY, go get a stun bot.

Sam can solo sc and share tp with others. It's a job that greatly relies on ws to provide a majority of its damage. So buffing its main source of damage seems to be the right way to go.

Sam can solo sc OR share tp with others you mean. The only time I see SAM sharing TP is when a group it waiting to do something, never in the midst of a fight. And I've played with some really good SAMs but they always just say its better for them to just solo the sc as they can Light > Light > Light > Light all day and deal more damage then having to take away the time to split their TP with someone else.

If Shikkikyo was a 15 second timer, I can't imagine a better use than to give that TP to a WAR.

[OMEGA_HACK]

huh? unless your WAR is dealing 5-8k a WS* then I am sure the SAMs will keep their TP and SC their heads off

*Outside Abyssea, please don't give me abyssea numbers as 91-99 content is going to be pulling away from those areas.
