So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

Two more days and we'll finally get our answers. Hope Samurai (if at all) is a fun job, tank or dps. DRK kind of turned me off of the TP/MP management. If I were to tank, I want to focus on just holding hate and dpsing, not stance dancing or micro managing.

Samurai would be a good opportunity to introduce a fresh new way to tank, like relying on combos to not only deal strong damage, but to hold emnity (skillchains). A couple useful AoE weaponskills (or an AoE hate combo). A few defensive cooldowns to mitigate damage, and a high block rate with your sword. Heck counter attacks that can restore HP when used -- so every time an enemy hits you you can counter back for a fraction of it's damage and the numbers you dish restores your HP.

I imagine SAM would be high crit based, with like bloodletter type procs on a crit or something, besides that im ok with tank or dps, really.
