Samurai Skills and Concepts (Up to lv 40)

[Ramsey]

Took a crack at a Samurai design out of boredom, you can view it as a spreadsheet on Google drive. For those who do not wish to view an external link, I've dumped everything below, I apologize for the rough formatting.

• This design is based on a unique TP management principle, Samurai does not regain TP naturally, but can use meditate along with focus to regain TP at will. This creates more deliberate play, where rotations are planned more carefully. Think of it as the melee equivalent of a Black Mage in some ways.
• Samurai is designed in this case as a tank. The base class would be Parivir / 刀術士 and is designed to split into Ronin (DPS) and Samurai (Tank). Ronin job abilities are not included.
• Some names are placeholder.
• Cooldowns have not been assigned to buffs, would take playtesting or a lot of unnecessary theorycrafting. Use your imagination based on equivalent buffs from other classes.
• TP values have not been assigned, there's a lot of math to do for balance considering the class's unique interaction with the resource.
• Damage values are probably not 100% balanced, however keep in mind the intent is for Samurai to be less spammy, and more deliberate, and the Samurai must lose a WS every few WS to meditate.
