Path of the Sword Choice [SAM or RDM]

[Soge01]

Both. Samurai for my main character and Red Mage for my other. ^^

I'm going Samurai Champloo on Omega's butt!

I'm probably going to go RDM since I enjoy ranged classes. RDM might also be that class that helps me adjust to a melee class some day.

Or have you charging into your death.

On that note: I expect a lot of complain about Samurai's Charge attacks lacking "Mobility" and Red Mage Melee Combat being a double edge sword when going into melee combat with Mage type gears.

Prepare the Popcorn for 4.0!

I actually really really want to play both... is that possible?

[LineageRazor]

I'm not particularly excited about either job. I WAS excited for RDM - until I learned that they were making it a ranged caster, just like the two other ranged casters we already have (five others, if you include DPSing healers). Was pumped for a melee mage, but all we get is a couple dart-in attacks. Eh, who knows, maybe they'll impress me and I'll turn my attitude around later.

As it stands, I guess SAM is a bit more interesting to me. They're definitely playing up a lot of Samurai tropes with that one, and it looks visually quite cool.

I am conflicted, I know that I will level them both to max level eventually, but I have not decided if its going to be the Samurai or the Red Mage first. I will wait till I know more about both classes. If Red Mage was a real hybrid class, then I would have picked Red Mage.

[Averax]

I'll try both, but am leaning towards RDM

However if either turns out to be another "press buttons in sequence as they light up" dps, my interest will instantly die.

[Bluejay]

I'll probably go play Paladin for a few months to avoid the 2 hour long DPS queues.

Good thing I use alts.

My Auri'll switch over to SAM while one of my Miqo'tes will switch to RDM. My main catgirl will remain a user of the Ninja arts.
