Samurai Melee DPS thoughts

[Alacran]

So many talking about Palace of The Dead being the saving grace to DPS ques... you do realize the skill level we are getting from there right? There are no positionals in there, DPS don't have to understand the basics of rotations, and timing of skill use. To say nothing of proper group synchronization. They took favorable numbers from favorable implementation and used it as a basis to unbalance the very same Tank, Dps, Healer distribution they worked so hard to create. Dark Knight pulled in DPS minded people and was an incentive to try a role that across all MMORPG's is unpopular due to the stress of defacto leader position in game. Those same players will now jump ship, their loyalty to the role only as strong as their favored glamour sets.

With out Major overhauls to the current Tank, Healer, Jobs to increase their popularity, i truly see a worse problem occurring than NIN's implementation, the fact they did not even take time to detail any of it at their final fanfest speaks volumes.

While not nearly as large as the DPS fan base, Tanks and Healers are corner stones of every party and all game content... As of this moment they have the least amount to look forward to come StormBlood.

At least i can play up the the great hero of the west come to save the east, it's no wonder why they were obliterated, they had no one to hold the line.

Right... How many Tanks, and Healers will it take to carry you while you figure that out?

I don't need to be carried. I have already played this game since beta so I know the fundamentals already when it comes to positioning. Also I would think I know how to position if I have cleared savage which requires a certain amount of DPS. It's not good to assume about those who level via potd.

Anyone with a semblance of video game competency can learn any job in this game super quickly. The jobs in this game are NOT hard. The difficulty comes from people unwilling to actually learn anything.

I'm happy. Gives me strong XI vibes with the flashy weaponskills. I'm especially happy that it wasn't something silly like a tank, whose concept still doesn't make any sense to me.

Unless you're the kind of person who doesn't know how to read and interpret simple skill tooltips, I don't think it would take very long for you to figure out positionals. But maybe I'm a little biased because I've been a Monk since beta so skirting the flank line is second nature to me.
