Path of the Sword Choice [SAM or RDM]

[EdwinLi]

i don't mind the Range Combat style since I usually favor Range combat over melee combat more. It also fills in the Range Sword job role which usually is a Sword Mage type of Job in most Fantasy games anyways.

They'll probably introduce the dedicated Melee Sword Mage later as we move to more magic involved areas in future Expansions.

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.

From what was said you'll be doing a bit of the basic 123 combos anyways with Samurai as that job requires building up a type of Energy/Stack to spend on their Heavy Charge Attack skills which sounds similar to Warrior mechanic but require more consideration on when to use since the Skills need sometime to charge and players may not be able to move while the skill charges.

Red Mage seems to have a 123 set up as well but from what we seen there are a few off cooldown skills for weaving into combo and then the melee mechanic aspect as the finisher.
