That's fair, man. It's just a personal choice. Don't expect people to follow or anything. I've been playing since 2.1 IIRC and dropping jobs since 4.0 started. This one's just another kick in the nuts for me. All my favorite jobs are neutered and the one that seems okay-ish and I like to play most after SAM is lined up to be "adjusted" next. (DRG)

Another white knight troll, wanna play 7.0 where all classes have just 1 button?

How the hell am I a white knight? I'm 83 atm and never played with kaiten. I don't feel the job is missing anything.

If anyone here is being hostile or trolling it's you.

It's been said in at least one previous LL and possibly fanfest that they plan to add to it.

Thats good to hear! Cheers for the info. Fingers corssed they keep adding to it in 7.0 and beyond too.

If a player relies THAT heavily on a single skill not being present for them to wonder if playing is anymore of an option (considering the wide-range of other jobs to choose from); I'm not convinced the game is the problem here.

I mean you can play how you want, but i really suggest you to try branching out- and maybe just leave Samurai behind if it's that unfun for you.

As of right now sam is a hot topic currently

SAM was the last job I really enjoyed and as you may have heard, it's been gutted as of 6.1.


I liked the MSQ, I enjoyed my time with EW, but I literally cannot stick around for the MSQ alone as it is. It's a game at the end of the day, not a movie.

SAM was gutted in 6.0. Kaiten removal was not what destroyed the job.

Yeah I've seen it.

As someone that never played with it, I don't feel there's an issue, but can understand why people are pissed.

Personally, I like all my stuff fitting on two double cross bars. I hate bar swapping. Dragoon irritates me because the combo is so long I need to bar swap for aoe. Summoner annoys me because my setup has me swap for aoe.

Samurai fits and I like it. Adding kaiten back might mess with my bars and I'd just end up macroing it to something.

Looks like someone tries to defend trolls in general forum but that's ok someone has to play with kids that dont play game but keep subscription on to chitchat for funsies.

I've had about enough of you.

And i have had enough of people pretending that they like current sam just to laugh in my face

I'm not pretending.

You need to get some fresh air and clam down.
