@Naoki Yoshida-> Make Samurai a DPS class!!!

[Remus]

And there comes the shifting goalposts and excuses. "It's not a REAL sword DPS".

Well I won't deny it uses a sword but when I see people say sword DPS they mean a DPS who mainly uses sword attacks like a Samurai. From what we saw RDM won't be mainly using sword attacks even though they have a sword. Also they have been classed as a RANGED dps even though they have a sword which implies they will be Ranged most of the time casting spells and here and there going in to use the sword but not too often. just a theory of course nothing set in stone.

so is BLM a staff DPS or a magic DPS?

That depends if you sit within melee range or not :P

Anyhow RDM isn't a melee dps, it's a ranged dps that carries and can use a sword. I'll give it a shot it sounds fun. In all honesty I wouldn't be surprised if Samurai came in as a Tank considering they considered Samurai for the Tank role in heavensward, but I wouldn't be as elated if it was a Tank than if it came out as a dps. But I'm willing to bet Samurai might be held off until 5.0 so get used to 5 million more TANK VS DPS SAMURAI threads. Unfortunately, we keep torturing ourselves with these threads.

RDM doesn't exist, yet. not count.

[Praesul]

There are already enough DPS jobs.
