Ideas for Samurai

[Duelle]

Here's something I was asked to type up for an old SAM suggestion thread.

DRK was given some of the thingsI sort of wanted to see on SAM. With the DPS thing in mind, aesthetically you could base it on fast and effective use of skills (a reason I'd want Rurouni Kenshin to be the inspiration for SAM like Naruto was the inspiration for NIN and Berserk was the inspiration for DRK). Combos could be abilities split into categories, with the caveat that one skill has a unique effect on the next. Alternatively, you could focus SAM on the sword spirit thing that Final Fantasy Tactics toyed with for a bit, though I fear it may end up being mechanically similar to SMN's Bahamut trance.

FYI, they had hinted SAM will be tank job. they mention this early this year they SAM won't be coming coming in 3.0 release because they still figuring out how SAM could tank. While DRK was figure out.
I'm crossing my fingers that we would need to find SAM from Lady Yugiri homeland.

Actually, I recall them saying they were deciding between Samurai and Dark Knight for a tank and chose Dark Knight instead. In another interview Yoshida said he feels Samurai should be a DPS.

that is kind of lame, do they have something against dps classes having swords? the closest thing to a sword for dps in a ninja's daggers but daggers aren't swords.

Huh. This is basically one of my thoughts for Red Mage ((since they can't have Black magic and White magic, since each class has their own skills, and they can't be a bit of everything, since we have a strict Tank/Healer/DPS set up, the only "thing" that it has to it's name is double cast.)). If I'm understanding the "Skill Chain" logic of move one>move two =profit.
