Samurai
The Samurai fights with a katana and little else. Katanas deal half again as much damage in its hands, and it attacks faster with every weapon.
Powers#
| Power | Effect |
|---|---|
| Katana Mastery | +50% damage with a katana in the main hand. Katanas are the 50 items in soulrend:class_samurai (katanas, tachis and wakizashi); they show a “Katana Mastery” line in their tooltip. |
| Agility | +20% attack speed. |
| Basic Items | Leather armor, a Soulbound Bokken with Unbreaking V (it counts as a katana), and 8 Steak. |
Note
The in-game text lists Speed (+20% movement speed) and a −50% penalty with other weapons. Neither is part of the Samurai in Soulrend.

Playstyle#
The Samurai’s bonus is the largest single weapon bonus among the melee classes, but only with katanas, so its gear path follows katana drops and recipes.
