Going to be gathering garo set for monk if they do indeed share gear, back to fem roe...FEM ROE SAMURAI.

MNK gear would not fit Samurai.
My guess go to sharing gear with DRG (because of the extra def on it) until lv 60 and then get own sets

Samurai will probably share gear with monk. I would say most sets aren't designed to the class, but to the place they're acquired, or the theme. Look at the Lore Tome gear, the Eikon sets. All healers had Shiva gear. You didn't see Shiva Gear for WHM, then one for SCH, then one for AST, even though all three have very different aesthetics.

DRG gear have more the armored style, while MNK gear is more styled around mobility. SAM will be like DRG a def melee.
For healer there are not different styles like with the melee gears. All healers share the same def, the same mdef and the same main stat, so they don't need different gears.

Yoshi said straight up that Sam is sharing gear with Mnk, period. As far as it fitting mnk? Sure it does. Yoshi said he imagined the samurai in robes and cloth, the lightly armored eastern style mnk gear could definitely work with Samurai.

And the Samurai is wearing robes/cloth.... like Monks do. So why would armor matter?
