[Suggestion] SAMURAI

[Khankra]

God pls no. Enough with that 2handed tanks now.
I wait for that class since i started this game back in 1.0 and pls dont make it a tank we have more than enough 2 hand weapon tanks now, and no real 2 hand weapon meele.

At the risk of sounding snooty he also said he was going to put in wandering primals that could be summoned by Free Companies, cheap personal housing, the musketeer class, and many other things. The point of this being that unless its in the game, it can change, even if Yoshi-P says something. :P

Not saying that this idea couldn't easily turn into a DPS class with some tweaking though.

I would personally love to see samurai as a Tank due to DPS already have a ninja theme job. Samurai is a popular job so it being a tank will help the tank population. As far as a sword wielder/ caster for DPS- Red mage would be perfect for that.


The devs were considering samurai as a rank so that may be revisited again

Yoshi himself said it is not off the table but it did not sound like he was too interested atm tbh.
If it will happen at all i would expect it closer to the next expansion perhaps.
They had added Ninja so pretty much was the reason Sam was not added

Oh yeah, this is not something I'm suggesting for Heavensward. It's merely a suggestion to the developers, to possibly give them some fresh ideas (cloud sourcing and that kind of stuff you know) and to have healthy conversation with fellow forum goers (you guys and gals).

Oh also, I offered an idea for RDM (for those of the people saying they want a sword wielding DPS) you can see it here. LINK

i dont see why they wouldn't increase the usability of the class and make a tank (shogun) and dps (ronin/samurai) tree.

I remember reading if samurai was a tank job they would of renamed it as "Shogun" i cant remember where i read that

I'd like to see a samurai that doesn't use a katana for a change, considering it was 1 of the least used weapon during actual warfare .. Not that that will ever happen

I'm hoping that SAM comes in as a DPS. They've already put one class that a lot of people want to play in the least desired role; adding another is not going to make more tanks. it will just aggravate people and we'll only see SAM's in fates and hunts. SAM should go in as a DPS with a stance mechanic between two handed, and dual wielding. Add in Kiai's that can buff the party or debuff the enemy. DPS so far has no sword classes; that's something that need's to change.
