So,... who's sticking with RDM/SAM after the hype train passes?

[Stormfur]

I love samurai. It's everything I've ever wanted in a job. I do wish we had a bit more in the way of support but overall, it's a great class with so much potential.

Only way I'd ever switch is if my beloved beastmaster becomes a thing.

[SuperNoob]

I main Samurai. Katana is my weapon of choice. It tooltip is great for me now unless SE nerfed it or change tooltip to the point I cannot accept. Sam selling point is high crit number, dps, fast and various overall skillset. Love aoe too. But good thing will come to end. SE like to buff it then nerfed it badly. Their Developers pattern mindset.

Btw I'm quite surprised to see a lot of samurais around in-game. Before the exp hit, I thought we would be seeing like 3 RDM for each SAM, but I'm actually seeing more SAMs than RDMs, guess the fancy hat was not too strong.

I always use samurai classes in any game I play. To me, there are no other options for a main job on my character. Everything else is for fun. Sam is for business.

I'm loving the RDM, an i hope that it doesn't get nerfed in someway in the future. I think its perfect where its at an extremely fun.

I've always loved the dual swordsman but casting type an it certainly met it. I used to main BLM but hated what they did in Heavensward.
To me RDM is basically a more mobile/supportive blm while putting out decent DPS an helping healers in emergencies.

RDM will definitely be my main from now on.

Having been flagged as a sloppy DPS when I played BRD, NIN, and DRG, SAM allowed me to be a pure DPS since it brings no utility other than heavy damage. However, I feel like I'm on the hype train considering I prefer to be NIN still.

I am definitely sticking to SAM. It's the only DPS job where I feel I'm actually contributing decent numbers to the encounter, as well as having fun doing it. I mained MCH last expansion, and didn't do too well with it, and I mained BRD in ARR, and sucked a bit at that. Casters and the other Melee jobs never really interested me much, apart from NIN, until SAM. So definitely sticking with SAM throughout this expansion, and possibly into the next.

Considering they are the only classes I can seem to stomach aesthetically (I have a thing for swords but detest tanking in this game.) I will most likely be sticking with either or, both are around 64 on separate characters.

Im main ast, and i like having a RDM in the party cuz if i mess up they can ress me with no problem, unlike summoners they dont have that much MP problems, neither need to waste SC to ress, also for hard healing fights when you need too many AOE heals burning your MP, they can take they role to ress.... xD so basically ill keep my RDM because as a healer they are my favorite class to party with

I'm waiting for the hype train to end before i start. DPS queues are ridiculous right now.
