    Sam is definnately going to be a dps just because they already released a tank and a healer and a range dps. But if you guys think about it, it might not even be a samurai because according to the roles we already have 3 tanks, 3 healers, 3 melees, 2 range and 2 magical range, so it's more like likely they will fill in missing roles which re range/magic range but seem machinist had been added which mean they more like will add magic dps and beside too many pgsycial class already not enough magics.

    I dunno, I can totally see Samurai being a tank.

    It's original intention in XI was a tank with it's Seigan and Third Eye ability.

    The player-base turned it into the DPS only that it is now.

    Also doesn't help that Matsui kept giving it DPS abilities, though.

    Though, I guess if you have to tank some how, it's through damage because of the enmity cap in that game.

    And Ninja was supposed to be a ranged DD with close combat WS, and Drg a DD with a decent focus on the pet.. They really didn't work on the Zilart job ideas that well.

    No, they didn't.

    But that still doesn't mean SAM can't be a viable tank in this game. I personally got so fed up with SAM being XI's baby. I'm looking forward to seeing it as a very strong tank in XIV.

    They gave us Beastmaster and that's what really matters.

    Tank. There's already too much DPS jobs out there.

    SAM existed before XI, and either way, this isn't XI - When are people gonna stop treating XI as canon?

    I don't want SAM to be a tank like you, but not for the same reasons you mentioned.

    About samurais being "DPS" in movies or anime, have you seen anything being a tank? Because if so, surely you've also seen samurais taking hits. Don't get me started about mages.

    Also, I will stop relating to FFXI when people stop doing the same with WoW. Because, you know, after all, this is a FF, and not a Warcraft game. And the second online FF after XI, mind you!

    In the anime Log Horizon, SAM is a tank.

    Seigan was not an original ability for Samurai, it was added about 3'ish years later of Rise of the Zilart (Hasso was added at the same time).

    But for the record Damage Dealer, because that's what I want it to be.

    Legend tells of a legendary warrior whose kung fu skills were the stuff of legend. He was so deadly, in fact, that his enemies would go blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness!
