Monk to Samurai

[Zacobius]

does that work?

i'm just a lv 12 mnk so i'm not in a rush but i'm curious if that combo would work...

like i was going to make WAR my subjob for my MNK but then i was thinking of goign to SAM...

so worth doing or too much hassel?

Re: Monk to Samurai

Look, both monk and samurai are two jobs that together rocks as hell. Just let's check the abilities.
for monk: boost-increases the power of your next attack
dodge- increases the possibility of dodging enemies physical attacks
focus- increases your accuracy
chi blast- an sorta of ranged attack, that allows you to pull enemies if you need
counterstance- greatly weakens your defense (which sucks though lol) but increases the chance of counterattacks

for samurai: third eye- allows you to dodge three consecutives attacks from an enemy
warding circle- protection against demon

This is all i've unlocked with the two jobs, sorry for the samurai, i only am lvl 17!
But actually i am SAM/MNK and i made 5 levels in a day.
I leave the final chose to you

Re: Monk to Samurai

sam/mnk, not so hot. however, monk to 18 --> warrior to 37 with monk sub --> samurai all the way is an amazing level plan. For any job that regularly subs warrior (like sam) I think it's ideal. Also, when you get around to leveling thief someday (oh and you will) you have war and mnk subs for it which are both useful. More subs = better player.

as for why sam/mnk isn't so great, you can read about it all over the forum. Quick sum up: mnk gives boost which is good right before weapon skills or while waiting for someone else to pull. but berserk from /war is better at 30. before 30, yea boost wins but pre-30, provoke is a critical tool for good players who realize that things can't always go as planned. After 30, berserk is the best thing ever, provoke is even more desired (as you will suddenly need it when working with thieves), and the higher STR of warrior will shine. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but sam/mnk just says "i'm afraid to get hit" and if that's the way you feel, go play blm.
