Samurai Discussion

Could someone post his rotation? I searched through the discord but couldn't find it.

Twould appear there has been some heated debate in this thread,I would ask we all keep it civil. This thread is to discuss Samurai and it's possibilities,if you have any ideas or would like to point out any mistakes by all mean,be prepared if your the one who made a mistake though. We're all trying to find the best way to play the job.

Thank you Tsilyi ^_^

Trying to access it through discord on my phone with no luck.

I think thats the rotation https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...18/unknown.png

But the point is that his rotation is about 183s(My Opinion: I dont need a 3min rotation just a great opener and a priority system) and he got a misstake he used Kasha 2 Times there has to be Gekko i think so if you copy it you have to change it
he used 1 Sen Hagakure and there are some other rotations and all with 1 Sen Hagakure but in my opinion the rotation he used is with i think crit and about Raiding with NIN/WAR so in this discussion its not very usefull

I just want to know like other classes about the priority system like Midare Setsugekka always with Hissatsu: Kaiten so what about the rest?

And again English is not my main language so it might be bad

And Dervy's Opener is pinned in the Discord Channel

Need a bit of help as someone going back into DPS after so long of healing...

I'm a bit ignorant so please bare with me.

Does it look like with the new changes... is there a reason not to fill every DPS slot with samurai over the other DPS? Is the other DPS buffs/debuff outweigh samurais DPS (because from what I understand they hit much harder)

To further this, if it doesn't warrant everyone going sam... how many sam? Just 1?

Please keep in mind the last time I went heavy DPS was in 1.0 when we stacked monks or black mages... and lost the elemental wheel as a result

Theorycrafters are currently saying that in a straight up 1:1 comparison, SAM is indeed ahead of the other DPS. But once you factor in the raid damage given by things like Battle Lit and TA, then SAM is only ahead slightly by maybe 50 or so DPS. But this is also going off numbers from a very old build so no one will know for sure until patch day.
