Basicly, SAMs only role is to deal dmg.
And it's not very good at it inside abyssea, so it's fairly useless

Don't forget to proc the red!

SAM just doesn't have any place in abyssea. A masamune sam will be subpar to a gimp nin/mnk/war.

I can't even tell if dr. Nick is trolling cuz that was too damn funny lol... no seriously I made my point on the "proc" topic a few times already... And I don't like to beat dead horses.. Sam can still do good dmg, and it can proc (quite a few) red + blue. And Dirty... how is 2x empy mnk + whm covering "the rest" of procs...? Where is katana, scythe, GA, Gsword? (not saying sam can cover but.....oh screw it nevermind lol... at this point its irrelvant..)
Obvious blunt pop is obvious, I doubt he would pop it during slashing or piercing when he has 2 mnks and a whm. Don't be HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE mentally challenged.

His point is you can't pop it without the key item *waits for it to sink in*

Edit: Just so you know I did not back-read at all. I'm just going off 2 MNK + 1 WHM and I have no idea what the other jobs are having red procs.

Since when did sam become a completely useless DD? I'm lost


Since everyone wanted to dictate how other people enjoy their game.

Pfft, as if the SAMs who are complaining now weren't doing that when lolibri were the main target.

For the record, PLD can actually do all the red procs WAR can except for scythe. :P

But yeah, burning down lots of mobs at once with Aeolian Edge would be a good idea. Just gotta get him Regen atmas and he can easily do that solo. Sea Daughter (from Grauberg boss) is awesome during daytime (especially since it also gives 5 TP/tick Regain) with the 30 HP/tick. Mounted Champion is awesome too. After that there's several that are basically equivalent; any of them could be used (Vicissitude, Stronghold, Impenetrable).

PLD gets cataclysm, I think that would be better than aeolian edge.

And to call me the "r" word, when the debate of red vs blue proc wasn't even mentioned...seriously? Wow.. I thought Dirty was talking about in general, for red AND blue, not just blue.... But to insult me for a simple misunderstanding? Wow folks... new level of low... Peace out, clearly this topic isn't really gonna give any pertinent information anyways... I tried to defend a job, and look how that ended up...

You're talking about blue, he's talking about both.

You read as much or less than I did if this isn't rhetorical.

If you haven't learned by now that all pertinent information is given in the first few posts *and that most everyone else is trolling* then the "r" word stands correct.

Fine, sam has a place in abyssea for those rare times you need someone to job change and gekko/kasha something for blue. Happy?

samurai is like any other job in the game, if you put time into it to MAKE it good, then it CAN be good. Hell I've duo'd orthrus with a fudo sam with MUCH more ease than i ever have with a mnk or nin. Subpar to a gimp mnk war or nin? gtfo seriously

Hard to convey sarcasm and rhetorical statements online, although that one was kind of obvious.

I'm sorry, absolutely nothing is going to make sam better than a good crit ws job in abyssea. I love sam and use my masamune a lot outside, but it has no place inside.

yeah it may not have a critical weaponskill, but using the right atmas, actually having your PDT and MDT gear sets, and knowing what the hell your doing ACTUALLY makes it into a decent job

it has a few shortcomings too, but it has the tools that are needed to actually tank and deal damage

might not be as good as a monk due to HP, well merit your hp, still not enough? get your hp abyssites? still bad? then your obviously doing it wrong

nin has a good amount of red procs, and with +2 can get even more shadows then ever, sam can hit a few red procs and can still use seigan + utsu if /nin

personally, it sounds to me like you just dont like sam in general, and not contributing much to the thread

Sam is subpar to mnk or nin. If you had an easier time with sam tanking any mob over mnk in abyssea then you have some friends that suck at mnk.

Whether you want to admit this or not doesn't really matter, the job lost its place when abyssea came out, other jobs completely demolish it damage wise and are far better tanks.

Sorry

listing all the "reasons" between tanking and DDing on why mnk is preferred over sam

HP is a reason more or less

Idk about all this. In fact, I'd have to call this trolling. I've seen some "gimp nin/mnk/war" that couldn't even hit the mob with WS's only, using sea daughter atma. However, I would like to acknowledge that a Sam's role in abbysea has about as much of a place as Rdm or PLd, sadly.

Tanking isn't really the same as duo'ing. I was assuming you were talking about a small group, but more than 2, where the sam would actually have to be keeping hate off the people stomping his damage.
