Samurai Melee DPS thoughts

[Exiled_Tonberry]

Not sure why people are so upset about there not being any healers or tanks.
Any WHM or PLD can tell you how badly they're balanced. To throw another job into the midst of that would have been horrible. I want them to take their time and reevaluate the identity of certain jobs and what they can do for the party.

Once things are balanced and certain jobs aren't suffering, I'll look to getting new toys to play with.

Again, I don't see why they have to rebalance certain jobs or add new jobs. Why not both?Also, now that there's no new tank (healer too I guess, but I feel like most people gave up on wishing for a healer when only 2 new jobs were confirmed), the pressure is greater than ever to get balance right and make them all fun to play. If whatever changes they make to PLD, for example, don't "bring it up to speed" with the other two, now what? Are they going to keep trying to balance it over the expansion until they get it right? Or are we gonna have to wait 2 more years for another round of sweeping changes?

Let's not get it twisted, if they "fix" every healer and tank, no one will be more happy than I am. I would love that. My problem is the word "if."

I know this maybe a bit adding to the hype but isn't that Samurai Relic Armor a more detailed version of Auron's Armor from FFX but full sleaved?

Honestly, I'm fine with it. And since MNK is my main, all may saved accessories from 50-60 will not be in vain, and some of my glamours will be useful. I'm looking at doing storymode with SAM, and since I want to do raids this time around it'll be for the best since I get the feeling MNK is going to be sidelined again.

DPS Duty Finder queues for dungeons and trials are going to blow for a while, since there has to be story progression to get to endgame. It's a price to pay, and there will be tank scalpers out there charging for fast queues.

Palace of the Dead and Fates will be our best means for leveling, and I'm fine with it since I have yet to do it.

Fortunately for me I have a good friend that will be jumping back on Warrior for this when I go Red Mage. He went from Warrior to Machinist when I went from Dragoon to Dark Knight main in Heavensward.

Excellent that's what I wanted, now it only need this sound during lb.

I'm not excited but I'm not disappointed either... It's kind of like Samurai was one of those jobs that people vocally wanted and we knew it would come sooner or later. I just kind of wish they gave use something we didn't expect... I'm also curious if that means we're not getting an Ala Mhigan-centered job? Maybe Red Mage but it doesn't look like anything from Ala Mhigi so far...

Probably because we've had THE Ala-Mihgan flagship job from the very start, Monk.

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

Utter bullshit

BLM,SMN,MNK,NIN,DRG had machinist since 3.0. DPS HAD they new class with the expansion. THere is no such a thing as melee/ranged/magic class in this game. There is tank,healer and Dps that's it.

*cut*

Because the role with 7 class need another 2 class ?
That division is beyond pathetic there is no thing as melee/magical/support in this game.

The real one is

Tank:3
Healer:3
Dps:7+2=9

That's it and for next 2-3 years people will be stuck with reharsed class that probably had been played to death while dps (the only one with the right to enjoy the game it seems or the one who actually pay the bill) can have 2 completly new class to fill

What. There's a reason why party comps are usually calling for [melee x 2][bard/machinist][caster]. I didn't even want Samurai to be a DPS and this statement confuses the hell out of me.
