Samurai Melee DPS thoughts

[ShinMetsu]

Sweet baby jesus this char limit on post is maddening

I feel you, as I main tank as well, a little part of me is disappointed.
Even more so, I'm a huge huge samurai/eastern culture fanboy to be fair, but i'm actually glad it's a dps, looking at sam it has a better feel to it imo.

2 or 4 years does sound long, but i don't think it's such a long time personally.
I do come from ffxi though, so long term investments are kinda part of my nature.
Played PLD RDM SAM for years, probably like 7 years.
But that's kinda the great thing about Final Fantasy mmos, you're not bound to one job.
I enjoy playing multiple jobs, although it was easier to have relevant gear in ffxi, it's kinda... a pain in the bum in ffxiv.

And i'm not sure if you've actually tried all jobs, but personally i feel like Melee DPS and Tanks are a lot more alike than Melee DPS and Caster DPS, personal opinion though.


They sadly can't please everyone at the same time. Someone had to get the short end of the stick.
You're right to voice that you're displeased, but at the same time, other people who are pleased will voice against it too.

Side Note: You can edit to bypass 1000 character limits

the thing with the "8 man que" priority is that while it does start as mentioned 2 melee one phys range one caster is that it drops that considerably fast for the sake of speed to 4 dps.

This is not true for raid finder, you need to have the right party composition.
Afaik at least, as we've tried to get into a12s with a MCH taking the 'caster' spot from another server, it wouldn't match us.
