What if we include a samurai class?

[Emerald the Invincible]

one day i was thinking about the classes in RotMG, and i ask miself "¿there's only one class that uses the katana?", that question lead to another like "¿what other class could use the katana?".
So, after giving a lot of thinking, i realize that a samurai could be the perfect addition of the larger cast of chararters; this is what i have made until know about the concept of the character:

1-WEAPON: obviously, the katana, i mean, duhh...

2-ABILITY: this take me a while, but i think that the samurai can uses a scroll as his ability, that launches a flame-like attack (like the one from the Mega Rototo in Cland), with a considerable range (8-9)

3-ARMOR: the samurai should be a heaving-using class, why?, i explain that in the stats

the max stats for the samurai should be:

life: 700
mana: 252
atk: 75
def: 25
spd: 45
dex: 45
vit: 75
wis: 50

so as you have notice, the samurai is suppose to be play as a slow but powerful tank, that's why he needs the heavy armor.
Now, the sumatory:

PROS: the samurai it's a nice alternative those who want to play with the katana but can't support the squishy-ness of the ninja; it's a moderaly good tank and his ability can get you soulbound damage pretty easy; in godlands he plays good, and with groups he still being quite the treath

CONS: it's ABSURDLY slow, and the low dex doesn't help either; and some people may see him like the "knight wihtout stun and more weak"

well, that's all i have made soo far, ¿what do you players think about this concept?, and, ¿what would you buff/debuff about it? let me know ok?, see ya

Of all of the new class ideas ive seen, this one is probably the best

oh thank you, i really hope that this unit becomes something real, but ¿who knows, right?

Makes more sense than ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ninjas using katanas. Ninjas were rebellious farmers and it was illegal for them to own weapons like katanas. It makes no historical sense for them to be using katanas.

Fun fact #: 56: ROTMG Is a game, and not real life. Nor is it trying to be a realistic game. because you know, wizards are totally real.

Would think he should at least have 30 def if he is going to be moving slowly... for max...

i was thinking in that, in fact i guess this could be the stats that need a litlle boost:

Def:30 , like you say, to equilibrate his slow movement
Dex:50 , otherwise, he will be left behind for the warrior

thanks for the recommendation

I like the idea, but you have to factor in that enemies have defence that remove damage from each of your projectiles, and so having an ability that unleashes many low damage projectiles would be very weak as your damage would be lowered insanely.

speaking of what class would be cool to add, I think a summoner class would be fun.

me an my friends thought of this too. its a good idea because it will increase the value of katanas. something more samurai themed tho might be a war banner that you put down, that increases wisdom and vitality

i thougth about that, and to compensate that disadvantage here are some modifications:

1- since T2 , the Scrolls will have the extra ability of "slowing" so you can aim better

2-soulbound it's about 18% of the total life of an enemy, so you only uses the ability to get soulbound for hard-to-aproach enemies

3-the scroll has a low cost in mana, so you can keep spamming it

you should take in count that the samurai has the advantage of higher rank than a melee class and higher def than a leather armor user, so he can get more close and personal with the enemy and take full use of the katana's piercing ability

thanks for the tip, MrGuy, all submissions are aprecciate
