Samba

Samba is a category of abilities in Final Fantasy XI for Dancers. Sambas are Support abilities, restoring HP or MP to anyone in the party. They do not use MP, but instead use TP. They are not spells and do not draw magic-based aggression from creatures like elementals and also, thus, cannot be silenced, but may be affected by Amnesia. Haste has no effect on its recast time.
==List of Sambas==
=== Drain Samba ===
Drain Samba is the first samba learned at level 5. It inflicts the next target the user strikes with Drain daze, allowing all those engaged in battle to drain its HP. It costs 100 TP to use. It can be recast every 2 minutes.
=== Drain Samba II ===
Drain Samba II is learned at level 35. It costs 30 TP to cast and has the same effect at Drain Samba, but the user gets more HP per hit. It costs 250 TP to use. It can be recast every 1 minute and 30 seconds.
=== Drain Samba III ===
Darin Samba III is learned at level 65. The HP drained per hit is much greater than Drain Samba I and II. It costs 400 TP to use. It can be recast every 1 minute and 30 seconds.
=== Aspir Samba ===
Aspir Samba is learned at level 25. It costs 150 TP to use. It inflicts the next target the user strikes with Aspir daze, allowing all those engaged in battle to drain its MP. It can be recast every 2 minutes.
=== Aspir Samba II ===
Aspir Samba II is learned at level 60. It inflicts Aspir daze on the enemy. The MP drained is slightly greater then Aspir Samba. It costs 250 TP to use. It can be recast every 2 minutes.
=== Haste Samba ===
Haste Samba is learned at level 45. It inflicts the next target the user strikes with Haste daze, increasing the attack speed of all those engaged in battle with it. The Haste effect from Haste Samba does not show up on the status bar, so any other Haste-type spells will stack with the effect. The effect does not not effect spell recast time, just attack speed. It costs 350 TP to use. It can be recast every 1 minute and 30 seconds.
