Samurai is what we need

Looking forward to 4.0 because I'm hoping for Samurai dps.

It probably will be and be competing for loot with DRG imo.

I used to think SAM would be a tank but now it seems like DPS would be the logical step to take.

Just don't look forward to queue times on its release if it is xD

Honestly, DPS or Tank, I'm most likely going to pick it up anyway because katana swords.

but what I would really like to see a pseudo skillchain mechanic for Samurai. Like Ninja Mudras but with weapon skill elements instead of hand signs. And inb4 Samurai first DPS class to crossclass with a tank ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You mean like how MNK and DRG can crossclass MRD skills?

But anyway, SAM DPS would fill a much-needed sword DPS slot. Right now if you want to play a sword-wielder, tanks are your only option (unless you count NIN "daggers" as short swords, I guess).

Oh I can see the warrior mains loving this, haha.

Gonna stock up on snacks and watch the world burn if this turns out to be the case xD

Red mage first.

Samurai has to be DPS cause tanks already have enough sword based class with both DRK and PLD

maybe samurai as DPS and red mage as a MP based tank that uses spells and can enchant their weapon

[Butcherboy]

Well they don't need to compete with any jobs, just add a whole new stats. Either agility heck may be charisma

[Butcherboy]

Red don't need to be a tank it can be an Astro in sword stance melee. Hp and MP heal and regent base on dmg or something. We still have the Viking class from the ff lore. Since yoshi did say that he plans to bring all class jobs and hybrids to ff14.

Yes they do though.

Or every job that has to compete has to be changed so they no longer have to.
