Samurai Melee DPS thoughts

[Duelle]

Its very Rurouni Kenshin, I'm excited for it :P

I'm waiting for Kenshin Himura, Kensheen Himura, Kenshin Heemura and all the variations of that to eventually appear on the servers.

I'm just hoping glamours allow someone to create a facsimile of Shinguuji Sakura, because with DPS SAM focused on iaido, it's a possibility.

Adding another tank or healer only increases the difficulty in balancing them all against each other. If the changes in 4.0 aren't enough, why wouldn't they continue to make adjustments. They spent several patches buffing Astro.

Its a nice thing there no need to balanc dps,most dps dont know what they do any way.

And of any game play as all if we at it.

Concerning the reason why they didn't do healers or tanks this expac. Based on their statistics, there was no increase on tanks or healers. Only the players who originally played tank or healers played those jobs.

That was basically the issue. A small amount of tank players and healers did join but not enough to make noticable influence and majority of Dark Knight and Astro who stayed to play these Jobs were just players who already main a Tank and Healer Job.

What Tank and healer Jobs need is to be interesting in gameplay. Vanity is not going to be enough to maintain a proper Tank and Healer population within group content. It may keep a lot of players to play tank for non-group content stuff but what we need is to solve the lack of tank and healers in group content as a long run issue.

Define "interesting gameplay" .

Because gameplay wise any tank in any mmo worth oh his/her name will answer that the most interesting gameplay is the tank role regardless of the class.

Mechanics that focus on taking damage would be nice for a change as one.

For example, if a Tank Job loses a certain amount of HP they can access skills or they gain a increase in reduce damage the closer their HP is to 0.

A lot of mechanics for Tank Jobs currently is focused around causing damage instead of taking damage.

Thats the thing, people who wanted SAM as a tank were tanks themselves and dps who dont want their que times overflooded with other dps cause hehheh competition and long que times, spewing about there must be balance. Statistics don't lie on how many tank and how many dps.

Yeah it's part of the package but now with this slap in our (tand & healers alike) collective faces what kind of support can we expect in the future?if any at all outside this class revamp which at this point i dread
