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  | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-13-2006, 06:02 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Brain of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: Colorado Posts: 1,584 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 181 Thanked 112x in 71 Posts Gil: 19,680 Bank: 72,967 Total Gil: 92,647 Donate | 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.  | Originally Posted by Ellipses | | Really, it's just like pretty much every question about this game that begins with "Why."

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

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. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-14-2006, 12:31 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Fence Sitter Brain of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: UK Posts: 1,342 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 53 Thanked 91x in 68 Posts Gil: 4,718 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 4,718 Donate | Re: Fun weaponskills? | Originally Posted by Nodachi | Kaiten's pretty fun | Lol and the chances of us mere mortals getting that??

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. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-23-2006, 06:36 AM | #9 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 62 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 2 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,380 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,380 Donate | Re: Fun weaponskills?

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!
