Studying The Blade- The SAM DPS Guide

I guess this is the only place to make this question, is there a way to buy again the starter gear for Samurai, the nameless set? I guess I deleted it by accident.

No way no how. Once it's gone it's gone for good until the Calamity Salvager is updated, or there's a crafting equivalent (which there is none of currently)

do we have knowledge of statweights for sam? i imagine they won't really do much with sks, but would benefit from either crit or direct hit. hard to tell which

Front page got updated with what the current idea is for those (I was wondering about this too and saw the edit).
"So it seems for SAM, Hit > Crit > Det/SkS is the stat priority for now."

IS there a general Samurai discord by the way?

Aside from the thread linked on the first page, there was this one that was made today: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...o_stat_values/

So I've just tried the omega dummy and I've gotten to around 3.9K as a Samurai. I'm ilevel 303. I've heard that the best was around 4.6K.

Does anyone have any advice on what I could be doing better? I normally don't care about DPS jobs that much. But this one is different.

For one, you're looking at 4.5k if you're at item level 314 (gear does play a pretty decent role, especially the weapon). Two, different fights have different HP values as far as SSS goes. And the lower the HP, the quicker it's killed, the higher DPS you'll see. So perhaps Omega's values are a little higher than Susan's.

Oh I'm able to finish the omega dummy at i303. My best so far is finishing with 12 seconds on the clock.

Indeed my friend, but Shifu increases your auto attack rate as well as your skill speed. The auto attack speed is not because the skill speed, but it gives you both separately ways.
