Holy fucking shit. Job Adjustments: Samurai (09/29/06)

[SephYuyX]

So we got open:

DRK/SAM
DRG/SAM
WAR/SAM
BST/SAM (Scythe users)
.
.
.
.

BST/SAM....is a possibility that noone will take advantage of.
.
.

time for me to finish my samurai sub and be ready for this update... faster attacks, more tp, and more accuracy on my scythe? YESPLS... and while your at it pls add bst to the jobs on Martial Scythe.

BST/SAM:〇
Suzu Scythe:〇
Spiral Hell:〇

This will be fun to test.. it might be even better than /NIN >.> If the 'new' 3rd eye is good enough, screw utsu. More attack power + haste + blink = win.

Might even be good for PTs..

[Purplenv]

/em slaps self for leaving his SAM at lvl 33 for the past 2 months...

Although I will be able to play with the new /ja a bit before I got back to my THF and COR mains.

[Garret]

If that's what Sam gets imagine the possibilities for other jobs...

[Dbill]

Blm/Sam with Scythe FTW.

[Lithiani]

So anyway...

Who are these guys, and what did they do with the real FFXI Dev team?

[Dbill]

They actually hired a new delevopment Manager, and actually letting the development team design the game, because remember no FFXI player base, no money, no Jobs at SE. Simple.

[Garret]

In the spirit of another post, maybe the next announcement will be...

Players will now be able to repeat the popular Divine Might quest if they have thrown away its previous reward after certain conditions have been met.

[spooky]

Alot of new MMORPGs are comming out soon, now that people are waking up to just how much money people are willing to pay for a game every month year after year. And so it looks like SE is pulling out a few stops to really keep people playing.
Go go MMORPG fan base war!

[Crescens]

[Norelco]

loosing the SATA part of this might suck for sure... but being able to get to that 300% mark faster ... more store-tp, faster and more accurate attacks with 2-h weaps ... I cannot wait to try this out.

Trick Attack doesnt help much in dynamis anyway when plds like to run away just as im dropping hate on them.

[Garret]

I've got better things to do in Dynamis than stroke your Spiral Hell E-Peen Aelf!

[Aelfinn]

...no.... no you don't fatty...

edit: off topic.. I think arch convinced me to lvl Drk... lolDrk taking advice from lolDrg-cat

This game is going to get a lot more interesting, expecially if this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Pretty pumped.

Same game, same kings to camp, and now the 3-year-old content is even easier to kill.

FFXI is hemorrhaging players right now. /sea is pulling up the least numbers of people on the server for both JPN and NA primes I've ever seen, and HNM linkshells are losing people like crazy because ToAU has given us literally NOTHING to do.

The only update that is going to "get me pumped" will be the one that says "holy shit we've added new content that will take more than a couple hours to play through!" The October/December update where they add the new content better be fucking spectacular. Another Sea fiasco will have this game dead before the next ridiculously far off expansion can save it.

[Lithiani]

Thanks Flux, we were close to thinking something good was happening for once, it's a good job you are here to keep us all clued in to the worst that could possibly happen.

Good lord, you suck.

[Judai]

SE <3s me.

I started to level PLD, then they added Auto-Refresh and Shield Mastery.

I started to level SAM recently and this.

\(^^)/

I don't see SAM being the most amazing tank from this but who knows. I think it will soley help them survive longer and do more damage.

Also, it will make it a great sub again for 2H weapon users.

ToAU was designed so they could add endless amounts of content before they even release another expansion. If you look a the map and notice so many areas that aren't even being used atm. If you even looked at the Map pre-Zilart same thing happened. FFXI will still be around for many years to come.

Tank no, but changes a way of alot of sub jobs are now going to be played. Hell they just gave Drk a little upper hand with more acc, faster swinging, Store TP traits, last update abs. Tp, and now meditate with subbing sam. TP whore if you ask me. Dragoons are now going to replace some DD's in parties??
