Let's Talk About SAMURAI

[Espri]

I honestly had no idea people hated samurai so much until I started reading the pvp forums. I can go multiple games without even seeing one in crystal

That's because they're not op.

All I see in Crystal is Samurais. I've yet to go a game where one isn't in it. It's All SAM and RDM and then a DRG.

I'm genuinely curious what rank people here are. I have never found SAM strong despite playing up to plat. MNK and NIN are both far more threatening melees and WAR, WHM and RDM outclass everyone else by far more.

I'm not going to further comment on you questioning other player's rank & skill while only being Plat yourself, but that you're suggesting that MNK is anywhere close to either NIN or SAM, let alone better, really says it all. While the job definitely isn't as bad as some people say it is, the kill pressure it has without LB is simply laughable compared to SAM, NIN and DRG.

SGE rendering everyone that isn't a melee useless?

As a SGE main I'm curious to hear more about this. I have to dash into Melee to do my burst and while I won't "die" it's a stalemate usually if I get 1v1'd unless I kardia myself.

How does it render ranged useless? This isn't meant as an attack I'm just curious if I might be missing something because I'm still of the opinion every class, inclusing SGE needs at least one cc skill.

I would say and just based in my experience, DRG and NIN are definetly stronger than SAM as DPS.

I think this is just a strategy from DRG players so they can boost their stats. I legit won one of my matches because they focused on only me the SAM while DRG was busy deleting people. I got 1 kill and 12 assists but no deaths and our DRG got 8 kills. I think people are just slapping SAM without thinking and dying to the LB simply because they stack like chairs so they can get folded like chairs. Zantetsuken has only a 5y radius from target, just spread out people, it works every time.
