I honestly want to know how Samurai is suppose to be and less a Tank than paladin or dark knight considering all 3 were just diffrent forms of heavy infantry Paladin being your Sheild Bairer and Dark Knight being your Heavy Swordsman Line Breaker.

A Tank IRL was a mobile artilery weapon invented in the world wars, so if we're calling anything with heavy Armor a Tank the Samurai IS a Tank.

Even healers can deal dammage do DPS SPECIALISTS are what the DPS classes are. So a DPS Samurai makes as much since as a DPS Paladin IMO.
