How are you prepping for Samurai/Redmage?

How am I preparing? By learning how to melee DPS, first and foremost.

I have SMN maxed at 60, but it occurs to me that I have never leveled a melee class much past 30. So far, I've tried Monk and Paladin and I've just unlocked Ninja. Honestly liking Ninja the most so far, though.

I've barely touched the HW extra classes, but RDM and SAM look a lot more interesting to me. I was excited about RDM at first, but SAM is tempting me heavily, too.

Just putting this here in case there are people who've never played melee jobs before, who don't know how to read the target circle yet.

Just half-step back and forth over that boundary instead of doing literal 90º flanks and rears.
