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

[Raka]

I feel this is a valid addtion for the DEV's to at least consider, since a good selection of updates to Samurai have been based off real life teachings and disciplines, and this only reinforces one of Samurai's strongest points. Fast tp gain.

Basically you're arguing the whole matter of giving Samurai the ability to dual wield with the weapon they specialize in for "faster TP gain"? I'm sorry, but Samurai has no problem with the way they accumulate TP and should some folks still have a problem with their TP accumulation, it will be less of an issue once Store TP V (and possibly Store TP VI by Lv.99) is added in the mix.

So my opinion still stands as is, no offense. Samurai does not need this ability. Just because it's an actual technique or teaching, etc. doesn't necessarily mean SquareEnix will(or should) impliment it.

With all due respect, It is not like merging Ninja and Samurai into one class. Because by that logic, You are saying Thief and Dancer are the same as Ninja, simply because they natively have Dual Wield. Hasso and Seigan wouldn't be affected at all by this addition (At least as far as my idea for the mechanics of it goes)because Great Katanas are still two handed weapons. Just Samurai's Mastery of the weapon would allow them to wield two, provided the offhand one is a Kanesada type.

Clearly you misunderstood my means of "Asking for this is like askin to merge Ninja and Samurai into one class." by thinking I was refering to "Dual Wield" only. To better explain my previous statement:

You are asking that Samurai attains the capability of either "Katana(1-Handed) usage in which Samurai now gets either a B- or A- in", "A new form of Weapon in which a whole new section of Weapon-type are to be created for the soul purpose of Off-hand usage for Samurai-specific only", or "The ability to wield two Great Katana."

Basically, it is in a sense just as though you want both Ninja characteristics and Samurai to be as one.

Please forgive me if any of this sounds as if I'm trolling or being rude in particular. No offense was intended while I wrote this. At any rate, I hope I had explained myself a little better.

You explained yourself well. And this was all on topic. No trace of Trolling at all

Its not that samurai has a problem accumulating tp, but it would accentuate its mastery over tp gain. I feel it would be something like this, If it comes down to offhanding another Great Katana it would really show individuality of this addtion with samurai. If it comes down to offhanding a wakizashi, I feel it would be like how ninja can use a Great katana. Efficent enough to be used for its purpose but not outshining. (I.E. TP Gain where as nin can use the elemental procs). If it comes down to just using a sword in the offhand it would simply be letting sam accentuate its tp gain mastery while joining in the shared joy of dual wielding like other jobs get.

As far as "needing" this job ability, no. its not a must. But neither was sengikori or sekkanoki. But they accentuated on another of sam's main traits. skillchain mastery. Wonderful additions that made sam even more fun to play, and i feel this would be right at home without breaking the game.

Go level NIN. I play SAM main and think this is an awful idea.

What does this statement suppose to even mean really? and why do you think this is an awful idea other than the fact you dont agree with it? Just because you dont agree with it doesnt make it an awful idea. I welcome some explained feedback sir.

I vote yes. I use to play "Yagyu Jubei" on Samurai Showdown all the time. It can be done. It will only take a little work to desgin the stance of each race. As for being Over powered, a balance system will need to be put in place for main hand and off-hand.

This is only an example: A weapon place in the offhand is reduce in power by whatever % the Dev Team feel is fair.

It can be done. It will only take a little work to desgin the stance of each race.

Another reason why we'll never see this implemented.

[Atomic_Skull]

Lets just call this trait "Muchkin".

[Mirage]

That is a really amusing game, you know.

....if sam's should get the ability to dual-wield GK then everyone should get to dual-wield everything.

That said... I want to be able to Dual-wield Staffs and I also want ninja to be able to dual-wield their dual-wield.

O....M.....Gawd! I thought this thread was a myth!
