Samurai is not okay!

[Stabitha_Wyld]

After leveling a Ninja, then a Paladin, I found Samurai to be a class that I really enjoy. I enjoy the whole flow of it and really hope I don't start getting cut or kicked for simply being a specific class.

And the lowest personal DPS for all melee classes.

Everyone will still want NIN and not SAM b/c NIN does *their* numbers bigger.

So, you re not ok in having the highest personal DPS just by pressing 1-2-3-Setsugekka, while giving nothing to your party? Well, lets nerf SAM's personal DPS to the ground (less than BRD) and give him tons of utility. Happy now?

1. You won't have highest DPS going 1-2-3. Not on SAM.
2. Actually, yes. I'll play SAM (if it still have same fluid gameplay) if it was utility job anytime.

I see people saying that you should enjoy your class in both the good times and the bad.. and no, I'm not planning on changing from Samurai any time soon! I still think it's fair to point out that it could and should be improved, though. It seems like those that are saying we should just be quiet are those with a vested interest in their meta class.. ������

Or the kinds of people who disagree with the notion that the best way to boost a pure DPS class is to boost its DPS.

I agree, there's a number of ways that SAM could be improved and it doesn't have to be flat DPS per se. It's a potential fix, but it's more likely that giving it some kind of better (rDPS) utility would serve it better.

I don't care if samurai has the highest dps or lowest dps. I'll always play it. It will always be my go-to. I mean....this is a game after all. The main point should be to have fun and play what you want to play.

I saw a streamer yesterday, main samourai, carrying an o4s farm but then got kicked after the kill to be replace by a ninja.

I saw that too. His reaction was funny but that kick was kinda sad. Tbh if you care about meta you probably just wanna be carried away unless you are going for world first or speedrun.

If you raid then you'll know that samurai was never a top job and if you don't then the job balances doesn't affect you in any significant way anyway

It's funny... I remember when the expansion first came out there was a huge thread (or more like a few) freaking out over Samurai DPS and calling for big nerfs because we were topping some charts with our personal DPS.

Funny how half a year later, Samurai hasn't been touched and no one wants it, just like people predicted.

And anyone who thinks spamming Midare is going to give you good DPS has never played the class. Great Sam DPS requires proper Kenki management, Hagakure usage, predicting incoming damage to get the most out of Third Eye/Seigan and not overlapping Sen while keeping buffs going. Midare is a small part of our overall damage.
