What stats do SAM need to concentrate on?

[2.0]

If you want to be the best samurai that you can be then absolutely.

If you all ready chose mithra, well... your screwed.

Stop your elvaan praising please. Everyone knows elvaan makes a great samurai and any other physical damage dealer. And you come off having to insult any other race. If mithra is "screwed"...I suppose elvaan thief(honestly not bad at all, go to stan's post in thf forums) is screwed too. I suppose hume summoner, galka pld, taru thief is screwed too then, because they're good but not the best.

-Elvaan and galka = the best DD in almost every job? Yes I absolutely agree.
-Is mithra screwed or hume for that matter since they're quite samilar? I don't see where you get this from.

What am I going to have to read next? Galka is screwed too because they have an innoticable amount of str less? Gotta love it, 4-6 dex difference "OH that doesn't matter, even though i don't hit 100% of the time anyway"------"Oh I own galka, I average 5 damage more per hit outta 200 on an xp mob if that!" That was an extermely biased opinion you posted.

The only job I'll agree can be medicore at best is taru when it comes to most of the physical damage dealer jobs, but not all.

Please don't misinterupt, I'm saying elvaan still is the best samurai. With galka too, is there honestly a noticable difference here, the difference is just looks to me, near equal stats exactly. Don't feed me that 4 str garbage, it doesn't show enough.

Edit: Got so caught up I got posts confused. To the original poster, attack or acc---->str---->dex. For acc and attk I think it really depends on what your current hit rate is. Alot of people believe, first you land your hits, then you start pumping them. And I'd have to disagree on str>attk for samurai. Unless you're hitting around your damage cap attk>str. It's all about the cap and if you can reach it in str vs attk. Why raise a cap you can't reach to begin with? IF you seem to be hitting for almost the same damage though, you basiclly hit the cap, that would make the most sense as in when to raise it.

And I agree, dont' worry about dex once you can purchase acc+, people don't look to you for crits, although it's a bonus for sure.

regardless of race, you want ACC > ATK > STR > DEX for sam.

There are some atk items that will rule out acc (well only one item comes to mind that's worth it, and that's ochiudos kote (20 atk) over federation tekko (3 acc 3 ranged acc)

check other threads to see what people think are the 'top' or even standard samurai equips.
