SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

[Souleater13]

if "samurai" was a tank role would a red/blue mage with sword(s) dps satisfy the group that wants a sword dps? probably not....which group do we want to hear whine more when SE hits us with their plan; the ones who want samurai tank or the ones wanting a "good" sword dps class, lol? With the current armory system and direction I don't think samurai would come as both tank and dps.

Doesn't matter which one will whine louder. One of those roles is far more important in terms of making sure content pops often without an atrocious wait time.


Also, funny how a lot of media people are referencing for samurai involve the titular samurai characters defending others. Kenshin, Samurai Seven etc. Hmm, which role is about defending others I wonder?

you know is not true this point? it will not make the tank more present because you will add samurai as job that can tank, at best for 2 month you will have a bit more tank before it get down. you are the one ignoring this fact and simply want to play a samurai tank while being already a tank as main....

It doesn't need to be a permanent increase to be worth it 2 months of an increase of tank population during the launch of an expansion is more that worth it. And it's better than the alternative of the number of tanks going DOWN during those 2 months because you only added dps jobs. If you can't see that logic then that's on you. You're the one who is in constant denial every time you crop up in these kinds of threads. I'm done trying to reason with you and your narrow and inflexible viewpoints.


I could say you are just as biased because you main a dps and want it to be a dps. The difference is I will play samurai regardless of its role, and that is why I realize that it being released as a dps can hurt tank numbers if no other tank is released. I very much prefer tanking but even I would give it up to play SAM if it happens to be a dps.
