At level 11, my fighter usually attacks around 6 times per round (2 groups of three swings) for around 30 damage per hit. That's up to 180 points of damage per round. My biggest problem is that he kills things so fast that he wastes half of his attacks each round.
How does a samurai doing 74 points of damage compare with that?
Well, I guess it doesn't compare with your fighter, then. However I have been steadily training my Samauri on spells, as well. While he doesn't nearly have as many spell points, it is an extra Heal, an extra Paralyze and Light spell per attack which is sometimes all it takes to turn the battle.
Now I agree that one Paralyze versus an extra 110 points of damage is probably not worth it. However I'm convinced that my Samauri will be worth it in higher levels. Also, perhaps I'm a purist (or just don't want to start over, more like it), but I feel like I want to stick with him.

P.S. That's what I love about this game; there are so many different ways to play it!
