New SAM updates

[Kypdurrondragoon]

Can someone please explain to me the updates to SAM? I just played my SAM for 3-4 hrs, got 2 lvls, and haven't a clue what the difference is from before the update....thanks ^^

sorry posted in wrong section

You get Zanshin at some level. Means less missed hits basically.

Im not sure what lvl it kicks in at, but Ive got it @ lvl 60.

Its almost like Double Attack, whenever a miss occurs, another swing is instantly tripped, and it is at random.

Taken from a site thats not even remotely related to Final Fantasy:

Translated literally, Zanshin means “left over or remaining heart / spirit”. Some give it a loose definition of “combative awareness” or words of similar meaning.

Guess it's good that one job finally realizes that their sword missed that gigantic Goobbue and try to hit again.

basically u get Zanshin , if u miss u have a chance of swinging again. I think u get it at lv 40

Im not sure what lvl it kicks in at, but Ive got it @ lvl 60.

its probably post-40, since on a subjob it would be mean O_O

Indeed ^^b

maybe that explains the sudden drop in Sam subs 2 hrs after the update ^.~

wooot i got 40 so zenshin? :?:

 

[Blackchaoshero]

could it kick in on a WS? XD that'd be SICK

 

[Ecks]

I highly doubt it. Since even if it did kick in, you'd still have to have missed your initial try. ...and considering it works a lot like Double Attack does, and double attack does not work with weapon skills (god that would be awesome if it did) chances are Zanshin will not either.

 

[Pesmegra]

well i am lvl 43 and i don't have it so you got a little more then till forty chippie

 

[Henshin]

Zanshin is obtained at lvl 60. Its completely random but most Sam's on allakhazam say it kicks in about 1/6 missed attacks.

finally someone posted the real answer. yep, it's lvl60.
and nobody mentioned the tweak to third eye. It supposedly does a better job with blocking previously unblockable attacks and blocks multi-attacks instead of one of the multi.


for some reason it still won't stop a bomb toss.
