Samurai Melee DPS thoughts

Did they say if SAM is going to share gear with MNK or DRG or is it going to get its own too? =w=

SAM is going to share gear with MNK.

SAM is going to share gear with MNK.

I believe the question was asked what kind of armor a SAM would use and the response with "it will be light gear like a monk"

"Like a MNK" isn't the same as "it will share gear with MNK"

"What gear will you be battling over?"
"It's in the same section as MNK"
"So all you NINs, breathe a sigh of relief"

How can you interpret that to be sam not sharing gear with mnk?

In that case I stand corrected, my source of info was secondhand

I admit i'm really really salty at the moment.

As a tank (and i honestly think a lot of healers feel the same thing) this is a spit in the eye considering that we are literally asked to keep dragging the entire dps population with the same classes for the next years.

Yoshi admitted that since the introduction of a new tank class didn't attracted new player to tank role they dropped any semblance of support to other roles outside the oh so precious dps

and this

Not only that, I also recall being mentioned that tanks/healers can look forward to an overhaul of their jobs ... so that could be interesting.

is simply wishfulll thinking.

The overhaul IS NOT a complete and utter change on how class play or act, the basic of each class (paladin being the most defensive,warrior the more prone to dps etc.) will not shift what we will get will be less skill for making room to the coming years and expanions.

Why so salty?

Mages were stuck with BLM and SMN since 2.0
Melee were stuck with MNK NIN DRG since 2.4
Tanks and Healer had the most recent additions, 3.0

Why be salty that tanks and healers are stuck 'dragging' dps population?
This is a spit in the eye? really?



On the bright side, most likely gonna get a tank + healer for 5.0, unless they decide 3 of each is enough for the game.
Honestly though, i would not see them add more than 4 of each over the lifetime of ffxiv.
If they had added them now, going by my opinion, we would've only seen dps for the rest of the duration.

I'm a tank as well btw.
