| Samurai 2h Katana From my recollection, a samurai's traditional weapon is a samurai sword. Why isn't encouraged in FF XI? Why focus more powerful skills for Samurai in the direction of the spear?
I hate spear...and I always thought Dragoons were the ones who used lances. However, from what I have read on these boards it seems that I will never be able to perform combos such as Penta-thrust using a less desirable samurai sword.
It frustrates me that I would probably end up gimping (not reaching full damage potential) of a samurai if I wanted to pursue this career path. I want to max my character to proportion where they will be considered a respectable and powerful character at end game. To me, endgame is the reward. Your character is defined and the chore of leveling is no more.
I enjoy roleplaying a character in MMORPGs, but since I played a gimped Paladin in a popular U.S. game called DAOC I found that it's not fun to play a character that isn't an uber template. |
