I'm just not getting the Samurai hype, what am I missing?

I don't care for it because I don't like the melee classes in this game. I hate the positional attacks. They are too annoying to pull off, so that's why I have no hype for it.

Side and back on the two 3rd move combo at 62 or higher, lol. Learn your class. Gain 10 senki instead of 5

That's what I thought from reading the Sam thread on the dps forums.

It's the DPS in the game IMHO. Big crits and satisfying as hell to play. Awesome animations as well.

It changes at 62 and then 68 again.

I tried playing Samurai from BLM and I just couldn't get into it either. I think I'm addicted to explosions, not crits.

Yeah, personally I couldn't really get into SAM either but that's mostly just because imo their animations are very underwhelming (flashiness-wise) and I love me some pretty abilites.

So do you think SAM is going to be more fun than NIN? Ive also been leveling a MNK while I decide what to level to 70 first. Im not really sure what to do

Im sitting on a 62 SAM who I find okay to play, 60 NIN who I generally enjoy and a 31 MNK which I find pretty fun so far.

What should I do here. If I level SAM first im kind of banking on them becoming more fun with Hagakare, which might be true.

Go as Monk first, then NIN and finally SAM. Maybe after spending some time with other jobs you'll come back to SAM with renewed interest and will feel like leveling it to 70. :)

What about explosive crits? (BLM propaganda btw)
