- Kuzushi Effect: Increases damage you deal target by 25%

- Deals damage to target equal to 10% of their current HP.
Ignores the effects of Guard when dealing damage.
Deals damage with a potency of 4,000

- A Stun Duration: 3s

- Immune to crowd control Duration: 3s

- A Bind Duration: 2s

- Absorbs 100% of damage dealt as HP

- 2x 8,000 potency Shields Duration: 10s

- 1 Shot LB that's easy to pull off at any given rank due to the chaos of the mode.


I hope I have made it easy for Final Fantasy 14 team to summarise it.

You want to talk about keeping a positive community and still letting people express themselves to a degree BUT then you release an oppressive and toxic job like this.

This blatant favouritism needs to be curbed. This is absurd.

It's not fun to play against them, whether you're winning or losing. I am not saying this because I am stuck. I am climbing at a healthy pace.

I am pointing out that what you've created is taking the micky and its not respecting other jobs equally.

SAM and WHM receive too much attention. That needs to change, and toxic jobs like this need to be thought over.

Thanks for reading.

I'll do you one better, look at NIN's kit

High potency buff with Bunshin

High Mitigation as they have:

Huton 16k Barrier with Movement Speed increase, 10 seconds

Meisui with 10k heal and 4k regen, 15 seconds

High Utility with a 4 sec stun with Fleeting + Forked Raiju (Both are dashes)

High Damage with Hyosho Ranryu, 16k potency

Spicy AOE 4k potency DOT with Goka Mekkyaku

Area control with Doton

Then lets cry about an ult that insta kills you at 50% health.


I hope that I have made it easy for you to understand that SAMs is not the only one with a wonderful kit and by no means I feel that these two classes need to be nerfed. The only class that are disrespected are GNBs.

The only changes needed to Samurai are:

1. Distinct audio cue for Chiten.
2. Kuzushi only applies when the Samurai is the target of a direct attack.

That's it.

Outside of the potential to one-shot half the team in close combat over a contested objective because the screen is too cluttered to see the Chiten animation, Samurai is fine.

Now compare the list of effects to SAM. And then tell me which one you would pick for PVP, a duel, and is just pure oppressive.

SAM players think two CC's and CC immunity is okay. That's how you know this job has been spoiled too much.

;) ;) ;)

Does it matter which I want to pick? Either the class with high survivability or the class with crazy high offensive capability, in the end always comes down to how people use the tool and deal with others. SAMs have 0 oppressiveness once they don't have Ogi and Midare.

Should a class be valued by how well they can duel 1 v 1? Because I can tell you if that is the case then MNKs should be at the top.

Note that SAMs are an 'all-in' class and has a kit that fits their role, a melee DPS that has to go up to someone's face to contribute. They need the defensives, they need the CC immunity, they are the shining example of what a class that needs to go up to people to deal damage needs to have (Aside from the LB).

If you think melee DPSs should be like a pin-cushion for CCs much like MNKs, then the one who is spoiled is you.

This is how I know you know nothing about PvP. Of course classes should be balanced around 1vs1 if you're melee, that's how you create strategies and competitive environment. So that way end game can be enjoyed by tactics instead of piling on a team that has the most binds, stuns and silence.

For the game to be more visually enjoyable it needs to have these kind of synergies. You're just a salty fanboi who is abusing an overpowered job, trying to defend it so you can feel something special.

It needs to act like chess and right now SAM is the whole board.

Ps. You keep talking about NIN being OP and MNK being your BAE but you default to SAM why is that, is it because it is just a superior job? Do me a favour, instead of posting here, go place those jobs you think are spoiled and compared to SAM. I also then want you to keep in mind the health and state of PvP and its future and then try to judge it by what's the best for its future.

> SAM is broken
> Classes that complain NIN, DRG and WHM

Samurai is fine. I'd argue they're outclassed by dragoon. Dragoon is safer with just as much damage potential. But it comes down to how you play the job and how you interact with the other 9 players. I only want the other mdps to be buffed to their level.

Yes and its fun for the Melee to get piled on with binds, stuns and silence? Create balances around 1v1s? So that way end game can be enjoyed by tactics? Since you called me a salty fanboi, may I call you an idiot or is that too high standing of a title?

Its a team game from the very start and it has been balanced around that. You don't deal with one CC, you deal with multiple always because thats what a smart team does.

Slander me all you want, its clear to me now you only draw conclusions from whats on surface and never bother empathize or even think. Just a monkey who wants to ape on about a class having more letters than another.

To help you answer your 5 second detective work with some fun facts, I have my main class set as SAM back in Stormblood. I climbed my way from Gold to Crystal using BRD. Now I play mainly MNK since I enjoy the class and revere SAM's kit as I want more defensives on this underrated class.

Preach about wanting the best for PVP but barely want any discussion. Wants balance do it in a way that will drag down a group of people who enjoys the class or identity of a class. If you want the health and state of PVP to be better then instead of dragging classes down, start thinking about bringing the other classes up.
