a new dps class that uses a katana as primary weapon

[Cherie]

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.

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

It doesn't need to be a tank lol, we have enough as is.

By that logic, don't we have enough DPS classes? Honestly, this DPS obsession is out of control. People want Red Mage DPS, Blue Mage DPS, and Samurai DPS all at the same time. Where does that leave the other people in the poor trinity?

Well when the set up for raids is 4 DPS 1-2 tanks 2 healers and 4 man dungons are 2 dps vs 1 tank and 1 healer, there is a reason we have so many DPS jobs. because their are a lot of slots. besides dps jobs tend to be simple and easy to use in most content. i even had some people quit blm after heavensward because it was to "complicated" for them.

But as far as the topic goes SAM is most likely going to be DPS, it makes the most sense, another tank would not only be dumb but would just make a lot of people mad, like with DRK.
