FFXIV: Dawntrail Samurai 1 to 100 Leveling Skills Guide

[@Kir477]

here when it was still a Smurai guide

[@ttabood7462]

In honor of the late Smurai guide, I will call the job Smurai from here on out.

[@Brawneteer]

I just about got whiplash when the lvl 100 skill started

[@nutzloseperson8514]

I just wanted to level smurai, great timing!

[@Ravemaster620]

Same

[@GaussTheory]

Same

[@overseerpjoe9477]

I always felt that you're guides and Misshapen Chair's guides complemented each other very well, so it's really nice to see that you two are willing to collab a bit, even if only for one Job.

[@valvadis2360]

Oh man can't believe i missed the Smurai guide, guess i will settle for the samurai guide then

[@hopeishome1916]

wow just finished watching Chair's sam guide with you in it. Perfect timing.

[@Raionhardt]

Love your videos Wesk! I started playing in Shadowbringers and you're the only reaosn I can play every job functionally now.

[@goldenrose85]

Only recently started dipping my toes into Samurai and am surprised how much I enjoy it! Was sooo looking forward to this guide though- you always give such good starter foot holds! Thanks as always Wesk!

[@Ravemaster620]

Love the Xenoblade Chronicles X reference at the start. XCX: DE in 2025 hype!!!

[@Shadow.Darkraven]

this is a fantastic guide. ill just add what i do while doing chain pulls in here. while running and doing your aoe combo, use hagakure to gather even more kenki since you cant really stop to cast tenka goken so you hagakure the sen and then you can kyuten even more once the group is stacked up

[@sinh8583]

Or you can just cast goken and have a kaeshi goken prepped for the next pull. As, you have 30 secs to use it and using other weaponskills no longer loses you a kaeshi use.

[@TheRealKush420]

I just wanted to let you know that I cleared m1s because of you and your guides. You have taught me SO MUCH, more than you know. I want you to know you are SO APPRECIATED. I would have given up on this game a long time ago. 14 was my first mmo and you were such a great mentor to me and my friends. I love you Wesk and please know you have THOUSANDS of people who look up to you and want the best for you. Thank you for everything you do!

[@Slyyam123]

misshapen chair jumpscare

[@ChicoScience97]

The GOAT is back! Thanks for the guide as always.

[@ammathislight6639]

Thanks for making this guide. I was just thinking about trying/leveling up my samurai

[@simplydarkness2363]

I jusr started leveling samuari not long before this got posted. I'm happy to have this right now.

[@Lorendrawn]

I am happy WeskAlber is still maintaining his position in the community as the guide guy. I still haven't installed or started ff14 but it's interesting to see how it's played. If ever I start a character, I'm going WHM.

[@AgentSilv]

Xenoblade X mentioned!!!!

[@maverickh1794]

Keep doing these videos, I know samurai skills but I really like to watch them Idk why actually.

[@maverickh1794]

But I like it

[@tyhjyys]

already know i'm hype for that X definitive edition

[@bidyogames]

The Chair cut in and cut out is perfect.

[@Thirtyleven]

One thing to note about hissatsu yaten is that it can also help you keep up when running between w2ws if you can get in front of an enemy. Less intuitive than red mage's disengagement but still nice when you get the hang of it!

[@alchemicalvapour8950]

misshapen chair cameo caught me very off guard

[@aaronknipper5552]

any idea whats gonna be the next guide?^^ im eagerly waiting already, seeing how much work you put into this one, really helps out alot :)

[@WeskAlber]

See the channel post I'm about to do

[@rube2747]

Smurai ❤

[@greedx__]

yooo chair reference

[@Aufbackbrötchen]

The best guides ever

[@whisperingshadowXI]

That voice switch at the lvl100 explanation lol

[@XDD50Hz]

that’s misshapen chair if you didn’t know, guy’s videos are usually pretty fun to watch

[@StriderZessei]

Best melee DPS in the game.

[@raarasunai4896]

Yay he's back!

[@Warman225]

The GOAT!!

[@hamptonwooster]

best collab since the Jimmy Timmy power hour

[@moatazgaber3109]

More DT job guides please 😊

[@s.t.5993]

finally , i had to keep leveling without your guide 😂😂 level 78

[@Aut_played]

Smurai

[@livingreverie5951]

Ik it’s unrelated cause it’s about Gunbreaker But are we gonna expect not a delay but a clear update to the script given the change to Double Down?

[@Nick_Pixels]

And the collab comes full circle

[@Volcannon]

ngl, at the 41:21 mark, I was like "did your balls drop in the last 5 second, what the hell happened to your voice?"

[@PipPanoma]

Did meikyo always give buffs? I have been using 5 gcd's before my DoT for so long T^T

[@WeskAlber]

Since... EW?

[@sctorus]

Nice timing for redmage2 guide XD (well samurai using sword and casting a lot so... yeah :D)

[@ruthnovena40]

Thank you

[@RacoonHand]

Wesk x Chair combo is very high potency

[@JamieEhh]

The 60sec loop still exists with 2.08 gcd

[@mouuuuuu9000]

please wesk do summoner guide

[@GradietPanda12345]

Waiting for dark knight patiently

[@WeskAlber]

Not much to go over there compared to EW

[@Slyyam123]

very similar to endwalker 90 but shove disesteem in your burst and put living shadow earlier

[@Entropy_In_STARS]

Absolutely 100% unrelated but I literally just realized your character is modelled off of Albert Wesker. Good taste. Good guides too keep goin

[@somelosercalledjab]

Tsubame-gaeshi.

[@Greyknight1575]

Does that mean Wesk is gonna be making Xenoblade X content when it gets rereleased? All aboard the hype train!

[@TheZeratulsan]

I will as soon as Xenoblade X remaster is released.

[@adamrussell9573]

Xenoblade X in the opening?? I knew this would be peak, my liege

[@DanyellGardner]

Everyone is talking about Smurai like do we have a new job? /s

[@benjamincress341]

Smurrrrrrreye

[@vigo2669]

Mmmm I love me some chicken tendos.

[@TFalconwing]

Upvote for Xenoblade X

[@lerobas6573]

Smurai x3 ^^

[@kevinjones6435]

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no level 1 Samurai.

[@WeskAlber]

There are in fact skills listed at level

[@kevinjones6435]

@@WeskAlber Ah! Shows you what I know. Ya learn something new every day. Thanks!

[@antinotice]

You are technically right - there's no level 1 Samurai. But there's a level 3 Samurai since there's a FATE that will scale you down to that level.

[@DanyellGardner]

The very first floor of Palace of the Dead is also a thing.

[@chrispysaid]

just a little Japanese pronunciation tip: in Japanese, the vowels _A, I, U, E, O_ are pronounced _ah, ee, oo, eh, oh_ when a word, like Senei, has a _ei_ in it, that's just a long e sound (ehh), so it's pronounced SEH-NEHH, not SEH-NAI PRO TIP: in words like _Hissatsu_ with the long S (double S) sound, the S is held just a little bit longer, and generally (in most words) the U in TSU is left out, so _Hissatsu_ sounds like _"HEE-SS-SAHTS"_

[@OnyxSkiesXIX]

Xenoblade X slaps

[@karstaboi3330]

Oh look, wonky seating

[@thefreshestmango1106]

Lol smurai
