Deciding between NIN and SAM?

[Tryzn]

I hate to say it but given how crazily strong samurai is right now, everyone and their mother should want to have 4 of them in the party LOCKED.

Ok that right there is logic you don't want to follow 1 Sam is enough for a raid because other then dmg they bring nothing to a raid group and I main a Sam
Best thing I can say is play what you enjoy

Play Nin, too many Samurais as of now. It's annoying, lol.

I'm leveling a NIN and it's damn fun!

I'd say to pick what you prefer in terms of gameplay and style-wise, don't pick SAM just because it's currently overtuned (next patch will bring it down a few notches despite still leaving it as the strongest melee dps since that's the job identity) since you want to be stuck with it for the long run and unfortunately SAM and NIN don't share any gear.

Go for Ninja. They have very high DPS and super raid utility. As a Ninja, I out DPS Samurai's all the time in party finder.

I do like both, for different reasons, but ninja comes out on top for me. More interesting abilities on top of bringing utility while doing adequate damage. Maybe not as much damage as a good SAM, but I believe the utility makes up for that.

...plus frog! XD

Yeah I think I just have to level both at least past 62, how long does it take to level a 2nd job (im new) to 70? I think ill take sam to 70 first then nin and make a more informed decision.

Like other people have said Ninja has cool abilities but since my only characters are both 50 I miss out on the main selling points of both classes

Ninjas are more needed than samurai in raids

And in terms of value; Ninja > Samurai.

(You could also say Ninja > All)
