Can honestly see FFXIV SAM not using a Great Katana this time around, but a set of DaishÅ, utilising both blades. Tank or DPS, I just can't see GK being the thing in XIV's SAM. Just my opinion though.

Ah, you're right x3 It's been a while since I watched the anime sadly, I'm gonna give the movie a watch once I save up $70 for the Blu-Ray set. Also interesting to note is Aoshi was technically a ninja not a samurai x3 NIN tank ftw
My problem with melee healers...go heal briny mirror in Leviathan and then come back and say how cool melee healing is D: The healer would also need to be able to eat cleaves somehow, and also fast enough to hit other party members who need heals. In solo healing content they'd either be brokenly fast, brokenly durable, or brokenly useless as I can see :<
Scouting gear is a thing because they wanted ROG/NIN to be it's own kind of role, despite sharing similar role traits with MNK.
However, Samurai would likely fall under a category. If a tank, they would go under Fending. If they are a DPS, then very likely they would be thrown into Maiming with DRG.
Why ? Do MNK, DRG and NIN eat cleaves ? Being in melee range doesn't require you to be in front of the boss. It just means you'll have some weapon skills that will help you builds healing power or ressources that you'll spend to heal the party.
As for fast healing, if it uses TP instead of MP, we might assume that all those heals would be instant.
RDM if was a healer and a melee healer then maybe a reraise spell would be handy. I'd rather have the Dancer be a healer tbh.
Do people seriously want Highlander Samurai? Aren't Highlander Monks silly enough? Wouldn't you rather wait for the next expansion after this one, like maybe one that includes Doma?
Samurai should just not be in Stormblood. That means they won't come out until maybe Summer or Fall or Winter 2019.
