@Naoki Yoshida-> Make Samurai a DPS class!!!

[Evangela]

Everything would be a DPS.

respect the majority then.

Can we have a referendum for this? Use democracy to solve this issue.

True democracy is tyranny of the majority, and any person with a brain can see why that's a bad thing.

I very well aware Samurai was a tank in FFXI I main it and loved it even tanking in that game, even have an Amanomurakumo I lvl 119 to prove it, but that game is different in that it allowed any job to be nearly anything they wanted to be if you put enough effort. And in this game its one way period no room to experiment, so if I were to choose which part of a samurai I like the best it is DPS

[Shippuu]

Too be honest, In that trailer they only showed 2 melee skills and a bunch of casting so even I don't see it as a true sword DPS. I can already see the job being more around casting then throwing in a single melee attack then back to casting.

And there comes the shifting goalposts and excuses. "It's not a REAL sword DPS".

I didn't when 1.0 launched, look what I and my fellow minority accomplished.

You wouldn't be saying that if you were in the minority, that's for sure.

Well I won't deny it uses a sword but when I see people say sword DPS they mean a DPS who mainly uses sword attacks like a Samurai. From what we saw RDM won't be mainly using sword attacks even though they have a sword. Also they have been classed as a RANGED dps even though they have a sword which implies they will be Ranged most of the time casting spells and here and there going in to use the sword but not too often. just a theory of course nothing set in stone.

[Frowny]

Our 3 tanks and healers should be balanced before announcing a new one. As it is, PLD/WHM can be removed and people would go "we had those?"

[Xlantaa]

Now the Red Mage is DPS, then yes, I want the Samurai be a tank. Don't be fucking greedy.

And we cannot vote. The "democracy" works always if all peolpe is in the same terms. But the 80% of the community is DPS. Every class youvote, will be DPS because is majority alwas. So, waht the hell? Tanks are minority of the all minoritys, we will enver win a single votation. We deserve too nice things. And no, a Hammer tank is not what we want.

And Why this suddenly post? You all are conviced than SAM will be a DPS. Ask for being a tank is more logical, since everyone asumed wil lbe DPS. Or... do you fear wil lbe tank when Red Mage becomes a DPS isntead of tank?

Anyway, if the next one is Samurai (let's wait till Europe fan fest), his role is already determined. I will say only, put 2 DPS classes only will break the entire game (Duty finder wise).So I hope the Devs realised that before put 2 DPS classes.
