Newb question

[Petey488]

Well i havent started playing, but i have my eye on playing a samurai though. I have just one question lol...How exactly to you play as them, I mean what would a battle be like concerning skill chains and job skills. What im pretty much asking is what do you do.

Thanks ahead of time

I have a chart printed out for skillchains beforehand, and i plan the best one for my group based off what i can link together with my great katana. Say you were doing Enpi-> Viper bite.

Usually you wont be the main puller if there is a thf, but if so, you toss on third eye in case the mob swings at you as it is coming. Make sure you have a mithkabob on and berzerk once the fight starts if you arent main tanking. if there is a thf and a pld, dont berzerk until you provoke the pull, and allow for the thf to fuidama(sneak/trick) onto the pld, and possibly enpi-> viper bite fuidama on the pld, if you have TP. then berzerk and start slashing. If you have another melee you are skillchaining with, hit meditate and do your skillchain with them if they have TP.

If you are grouped with another samurai post-50, you can have a lot of fun with meditate. Me and another sam were getting 100tp and then doing jinpu-> jinpu -> jinpu -> jinpu, with meditate... lots of fun :D

Sam isnt too difficult, youll get the hang of it soon- but it definately is fun :spin:

Im sure other sam's can offer more info, im kind of running late for class so please excuse my half-arsed post

hope you enjoy the sam job

renkei chart is your best bet. I don't have samurai yet so i can't tell you much
