Samurai Melee DPS thoughts

[Galaktica]

I hope whatever improvements they make to tanks and healers are gonna be worth it or else this is going to be a sh***y expansion for them. I mean, at least one role was always going to get screwed considering they were only going to add 2 jobs, but after the announcement, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried. I pray to all that is holy whatever skills and spells they give to tanks and healers are interesting and useful. And I pray that whatever balance ideas they have for said roles don't just boil down "let's nerf WAR and SCH!"

People called the idea of Sam being DPS a sin, I call it justice.

They said the same thing about DRK being a tank.

Me and my friends will try level our classes together, so we can queue into stuff instantly, there is also PotD and the obvious fate farming, but yeah, adding DPS classes only will screw with queues, it won't be too bad at first I think, with everyone levelling their current mains for the Stormblood storyline, but it will be bound to get worse as time goes on (Ninja queues...ugh)

Samurai looks fun, it will be sharing gear with MNK, which is good, because as a MNK main I have all the gear I could possibly want for it, best grab some lvl 50 gear while I can of course.

I will level everything in due time, but I will go through SB as a Tank first, then the two new sword dps classes. Mostly because I want my character to be a blademaster of sorts.

Did they say if SAM is going to share gear with MNK or DRG or is it going to get its own too? =w=

SAM is going to share gear with MNK.

SAM is going to share gear with MNK.

I believe the question was asked what kind of armor a SAM would use and the response with "it will be light gear like a monk"

"Like a MNK" isn't the same as "it will share gear with MNK"

"Like a MNK" isn't the same as "it will share gear with MNK"

"What gear will you be battling over?"
"It's in the same section as MNK"
"So all you NINs, breathe a sigh of relief"

How can you interpret that to be sam not sharing gear with mnk?
