SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

[Katana190]

I don't get where people are hearing Yoshi P confirmed it to be a DPS, source please? For starters the job isn't even confirmed... the only thing I recall is an interview talking about how he would like to see SAM and looked at the 2 perspectives of tank and dps for the job. More on subject my vote is biased and I want it to be a tank, I love WAR but its getting tiring to play the essential job. We need a replacement or something on pare like PLD/DRK are both 100% viable in Savage right now, and I feel SAM would fulfil this.

"Regarding Samurai
They had an idea to make Samurai a tank. However because the Heavensward (I think they call it Souten no Ishigard in Jp) theme is dark, they felt a dark knight was more fitting for the role.
Inside of YoshiP the Samurai feels more like a DPS than a tank.
Since they released the Ninja job,they didn't want another Japanese style job
They decided to skip Samurai for now but since a lot of people request it they are still examining whether to add it in the future"

Thank you.

Yeah, it's exactly what you're thinking. People misunderstanding an already bad translation

And thank you. At the end of the day idm what they do with SAM, don't get me wrong, I'll be salty af if its a DPS but I'll get over it like the DPS mains got over DRK's being a tank. Regardless I would really love SE to make a WAR replacement and that's why my vote stays on SAM being a tank, it would just fit in perfectly.
