Not an impossible situation, but uncommon enough such that it bumps samurai down to niche status, I presume.

My personal experience after months of usage of a samurai is: this is plain wrong most of the time, sorry. May look like it on paper but at practical use its a whole different story.
If for some wierd reason one doesnt want to belive my personal long term experience of using a samurai go ahead read the latest opinions of others (comment section) on here http://millenniumwaraigis.wikia.com/wiki/Shizuka
They are not a core class, but they are able to replace a core class in most cases and excelling at thier job bei far... unless the real tanking niche is asked. Which honestly is more a niche then samurais are if you ask me.
