Samurai Discussion

[Shortie]

SAM and MNK both identical gear, same Ilvl weapons, lvl 66. SAM outperforms the MNK by an insane margin. Its not even the same league. And SAM is easier to play, more comfortable when soloing and less dependant on knowing the boss abilities and breaks.

level 66 means nothing.

To explan further, samurai from 66 to 70 doesnt gain as much. They gain a hard hitting level 70 ability, but its on a long cooldown and cost 50 kenki (which is a ton).
Monks gain Riddle of fire (which is huge) and Brotherhood (which is huge since it has a pretty decent uptime).

And Sam wont gear quite as well as other classes.

I just want to remind people that SE is pretty good about class balancing. You may laugh, but its a ton better than most MMO's. And they have a good mind to keep most classes relevant.
THis same doomsday thought process happened at heavensward, and everyone was pretty happy in the end.

AKA... play what is fun.
