Fun weaponskills?
Aloha everyone,

Recently I've been contemplating coming back to the game and starting a Samurai. From what I remember, Samurai was a very respectable damage dealer, but I always thought their weaponskills were somewhat lackluster in the 'coolness' department (God I hate myself for saying that) when compared to Dark Knight for example. Is this true or do Samurai's get some very visually pleasing weaponskills of their own? Pathetic as it may be, this would be an important factor in my decision

Re: Fun weaponskills?
I always liked how SAM WS look... better than most of the DRK ones, but certainly not comparable to Gulitoine or Nightmare Scythe.

Tachi: Gekko, and Tachi: Kasha.

Nothing beats a) spinning through the air or b) flowers coming out of your GKT.

Re: Fun weaponskills?
Kaiten's pretty fun

But yeah Gekko is always a blast when you get it. Not just cause you're now jumping and a fairly cool graphic design pops out, but it's a very solid WS that you will use constantly for the rest of your SAM career.

Others I enjoyed getting were Jinpuu, and basically each of the 3 kings: Yukikaze, Gekko, Kasha.

Re: Fun weaponskills?
I enjoy the sound the great katana makes when it connects a hit. But for WS...Gekko and Kasha are really nice looking. Plus the open/close darkness and light for even more looks.

Very true. Trust me, SAM WS's are very boootiful
Also, you can do a ton of damage, once you hit 60 and are able to sub THF and SATA, you'll blow your own mind away what you can do.
Enjoy it and have a great time!
