Samurai and Ala Migho

[Katana190]

And dancer, a tank. Yes, a tank. It is really hard to come up with new and interesting ways to tank to make it different from the previous ones. What to do with enemy damage. Well how about a tank that dodges damage? You draw attention with your dance and spin and jump away from incoming blows.

I don't want to get into the whole SAM Tank vs DPS debate. Already done it too much in the past. Just stating my opinion and a SAM Tank could perfectly fit the whole theme of an evasion Tank. RDM could easily fit the Sword DPS everyone wants and DNC could easily fit the role of the DoW Healer everyone wants. Damn everyone is happy, except their not. No one will be happy with the decision SE makes, some will be disappointed some will love it. We'll just have to see in a few months for the announcements that are to come.

Even with all that said, it's also unlikely we will even start in Ala Mhigo at the beginning of 4.0 and will more likely be fighting our way to reclaiming it during the 4.0 story which means any new jobs wouldn't be tied to the city state anyways. As such there's plenty of room to write in a displaced Samurai trainer from Doma who teaches our adventurers his ways to fight back against the same empire that took his home. While their home is gone, the assistance in helping another group of people who suffered under the same enemy is a noble one and a likely story thread.

This would make a lot of sense tbh. I also believe if people are so tied to jobs needing to be tied to their city state, Samurai's could be a Gyr Abania elite soldier, a bit like how PLD like you mentioned is basically an elite Ul'dah guard. (?) Although no one has agreed with me on that point D: Because NIN and SAM need to be tied together I guess.
