I strongly hope it becomes a Damage Dealer, but it's all dependent on how they choose to implement it.

@Riastrad That would be a pretty sweet story line.
As has been pointed out in this thread. There are other options than simply a 2H sword tank for Samurai. i.e. Dual wield katana/tachi+wakizashi. We do not have a dual wielding tank, presto. And again, if Yoshi P was so adamant on SAM being a dps it would have never been on the drawing board and in competition with DRK for a new tank.
