a new dps class that uses a katana as primary weapon

[RyuRoots]

Hopefully Samurai will be a dps. It'd be a real shame to have THREE sword classes and not one of them focused on doing damage.

A samurai class that has a Sword Drawn and Sheath mechanic would be nice. Some skills can only be used when the sword is out or sheathed. When in sheath, deals Blunt damage and drawn deals slash.

There have been a few hints dropped about Samurai being possibly next. The most recent anniversary event dropped a couple job names as possibilities. Samurai was one of them as I recall (including a discussion of two npcs over what is better, red or blue mage). Also, wasn't there a video where the devs were talking about what jobs they'd like to introduce on the main youtube channel for the game? I could be wrong but I recall Samurai being the one Yoshi-p brought up.

Maybe someone with a better memory can recall it for us.

We have 2 swordsman jobs, both are tank.

Samurai needs to be a DPS and the dev already said that it should be a DPS.

Pretty much this ^ Really hoping to actually be able to use a class with a sword that is actually meant to go out there and deal some damage instead of just taking it //admittedly, my 'older MMO' goggles might be on a little too tight though

Samurai doesn't "need" to be anything. Besides, Red Mage will probably use swords and they have the potential of being a DPS job as well.

there really needs to be a samurai class. i would use it as my main class

Then it should be a tank. Always good to have more tanks in the queue. XD

[Kaiden019]

That makes very little sense as Shoguns are glorified strategists that lead armies, Samurai also wore heavy armour in battle. I guess lead into battle = tank?... But then Paladins would be Kings following that.

Yeah I never really understood why Shogun = Tank. I think he was just spit balling.

[Rizon]

He said that a class by the name of "Samurai" would make more sense as a DPS and if they were to make it a tank it would probably be renamed to something like shogun.

We have 3 Tank Classes already. How many more do we need. People are screaming for WAR to be nerfed. Others want Pld made relevant again. Lets fix what we have before we add more. We need another pure DPS beside Drg and Mnk. SAM is a natural.
