Samurai Melee DPS thoughts

[TaranTatsuuchi]

With SAM being so popular I can see 500k+ on certain servers

Content selling has gone casual!

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.

Well, to be fair.

The parameters have changed this time.
Instead of having a job of each role for people, allowing transference both directions.

This time there's only jobs of a single role, meaning transference can only go in one direction.

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.

I personally play DPS mostly, but have dabbled in other roles.

I'm not all the fond of the current tank's aesthetics, Samurai would have been a great tank for me.

If not for for the increased relative strength of tanks with the tank vitality shift, I'd probably have just gone on tanking dungeons on my Dragoon. Had CC not been removed, purposely making our skills irrelevant to ensure trinity play, I probably could have been 1 of 4 "tanks", easily allowing for the inflated DPS counts. And I can't imagine a more perfect fit for the SAM aesthetic than a strong DPS who can still take high advantage of occasional tanking.
