Samurai Tank Speculation

[ExHeroKid]

I designed the Lv15 skills because a Samurai wouldn't use a shield, so with my "Offhand" idea of a wakizashi, Samurai's LV15 Shield Lob/Shield Swipe is replaced.

Thanks for feedback though! :3

A tank with lots of skill mechanics sounds fun to me, I main PLD but like WAR tank skills better because it makes me feel more involved, so I tried to do that with my version of SAM.

When I picture Samurai tanking, I picture someone who waits for an opening (like a dodge or parry) to counterattack as needed.
The Domans have easily introduced us to enough justification for a far-east class like Ronin to start the journey towards the Samurai job. Ronin could pull a Gladiator and allow light enmity control with a basic 1-2(-3?) enmity control combo and a few on-GCD counterattacks that couple damage and enmity alongside.. cleave? blind? resistance drop? stat drop? Upgrading to Samurai seems like it would take it a step further with a proper tanking stance, some off-GCD counter skills, and whatnot.
