Samurai (Buying Gil)
August 8th, 2007The Samurai is an over the top blade master. He trusts his blade more then anything else, and only needs it to survive. The Samurai is able to tote heavy armor and use single-handed swords. He is especially effective against demons due to the increasing active and passive skills to combat them. Another noticeable trait of the Samurai is the incredible increase of Tactical Points. This lets the character dish out a constant amount of attacks without worry.
For the preferred race, I recommend the Mithra. They are agile and dexterous, making them not only deadly but quick. As a sub class, try to keep away from caster classes. Focus on another melee class such as dragoon or thief, increasing the attack speed tremendously with sneak attack when a mob least expects it. In the active abilities table, the Samurai gains some noticeable features.
Ability – Level – Description
Wise Reflection – 1 – TP cost of weapon skills go to 100
Demon Circle – 5 – Increases protection against demons for the group
Heart Eye – 15 – Dodges next attack
Silent Concentration – 30 – Charges up the TP Gauge
The best part is, heart eye and silent concentration is in a low one minute timer. This means you can have a nearly endless TP bar and dodge an attack every 60 seconds.
For passives:
Ability – Level – Description
Resist Blind – 5 – Increase resistance to blind
Store TP – 10 – Increase TP gain speed
Demon Killer – 40 – Increase damage against demons
For groups remember the Samurai isn’t the best damage receiver. If you plan to be the main tank, try and group up with a warrior sub job. This will give a nice boost to HP and give you the ability to pull agro from healers and casters. The Samurai can only be 100% effective if he can just lay down some hate without taking damage from the enemy.
An important point to NEVER forget about the Samurai is the Heart Eye and Silent Concentration skills listed above. The low timer must NOT be forgotten, since they are both very useful skills.
