Samurai

I hope for SAM and RDM to be released as "hybrid jobs". I think Yoshi P already mentionned being interested in such a concept. Jobs that would be able to fully switch between two roles before entering a duty. Like there is in a lot of other MMOs, different "specs". In that case, it would be completely OK if SAM had access to both tank and DPS specs, and RDM healer and DPS. Let's be imaginative. I'd love to have that in XIV. Currently character evolution is more linear than FFXIII. You have absolutely nothing to choose, you're not involved at all. Even with gear, you only have the choice between 2 sets of the max ilvl at end-game with only super weak secondary stat choices and that's it. I want to at least see specs. Even if they don't want talent trees or shit like that, at least give us specs for some jobs. SAM and RDM would be the ideal first candidates for such an integration.

Currently FFXIV is super limited, scripted and linear in every concept it has. Let's break some barriers.

Then next tank class should be this. There needs to be a tank that benefits from the blunt reduction given by the monk.



I also agree with SAM being a dps. The last thing we need is a job that focuses on parry as its main mitigation tool, especially in FFXIV where parry is and after thought.
