day 2 of asking SE to revert SAM changes.

Please revert SAM to 6.0 SE.

Thank you.

I like this idea. A post every day until 6.0 SAM is brought back.

Was considering doing it myself, but now there's a thread for it.
+1 to this thread. +1 to keeping at it until the Devs actually listen.

I'll continue to post and ask everyone to continue submitting their feedback. I will also be actively looking into the JP community as well. +1

Please revert the changes! +1

Playing SAM was one of the best parts of my life. I kinda feel lost and unmotivated to keep playing and that's honestly so damn sad.

+1 to this thread. Secretly hoping they revert the changes during the upcoming maintenance. I want my favourite job back.

I have no motivation to play the only class I play and main. Revert it, or fix it.

I like the idea of reducing button-bloat but kaiten was one of the most skill expressive parts of the sam kit, there are so many more buttons they could have got rid of instead :((

Revert the changes! Stop making lazy, hap-hazard job changes!

do this everyday. I will make it a ritual to comment. MAKE SAMURAI GREAT AGAIN.

Count me in.

Also, please make this clear:

JUST

REVERT

SAMURAI

TO 6.0

We don't want to hear about their "improvement in the works" to come back with more watered down bs.

Put it back. AS. IT. WERE. down to the dot. Not after you take your sweet time. Not 5 patches later. NOW. (Next patch). Drop whatever you think you doing with Samurai. WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT. Stop dragging the heels. Stop doubling down on your f up. Stop talking bs about new direction.

No one want these changes.

JUST

REVERT

SAMURAI

TO 6.0

Join the club, just don't expect every class change to be reversed just because people are upset.

If that were the case, Monk would be a very different job today, as well as virtually every other job.

Also, why is Samurai so special that because something was taken away or changed that asking for a reversal would be such a great idea?

Please don't strawman with "because other jobs got fucked so this one should go down the shit hole too".

No. Samurai is not special. We'd all love to jump on the bandwagon to get monk fixed too.

However, nothing will ever change as they are now. Let's not kid ourselves. As you saw all to well with monk. SE standard procedure:

- Ruin a class
- "We care about feedback" (lmfao. did you ask any players before you make the changes? No.)
- Proceed to forget about it.
- Comes back later with "we gathered feedback" as an excuse to shove more watered down bs down everyone's throat with a "rework/improvement"

Engaging in "discussions" and "feedbacks" only give them more room to spin bs.

Patch's live. People checked it out. No one likes it. Revert it.

Playing SAM nowadays makes me wanna unsub. Please revert it back to 6.0. Nobody likes the new update for SAM. Every class are good this patch 6.1 except for SAM.

In the process of re-clearing the tier, At P4S atm... I'll post my feedback at my thread... it is so upsetting everything is so boring... sooo soo empty nothing feels skill expressive whatsoever...

I love SAM, literally kept me playing through ARR and it kept becoming more and more fun to play level after level
Base combo doesn't feel as satisfying and fluid anymore. This change goes against the rest of the Job's 6.0 Kenki modifications, my main combo is back to how it was while levelling through Heavensward, just spending my Kenki through Shinten spam
(Also a bit of a pain in the ass for my muscle memory)
I think I might switch my main job at least for a while, see if any revert or further change in the future will fix that

Playing Black Mage as my new main now. Please fix these god awful changes to SAM, please. Thank you.

Please revert the changes.

Revert the changes SE. All this did was make the job feel horrible to play.

Revert the changes !!! I will wait untile june( my subs end in june) if no fix to samurai will come, i will unsub after 5 years of sub.

Had the same idea today so adding to the petition. Also adding links to several prominent SAM threads so they dont get buried.

Please, SE! I promise I'll learn the proper pronunciation and meaning of every skill name if you revert the change!

What’s most frustrating about how they do job balance is how long it takes for anything to get done. To the devs it’s easy to say “just trust us, these changes will set the class in a better direction eventually”, but that better direction is 3-4 patch cycles away. It’s like they have zero foresight into their own development process. In what world does it make sense to remove staple abilities of the job and then add nothing to replace it, and on top of that completely eviscerate the potency numbers.
Maybe instead of making these idiotic changes and then waiting months to fix them, just stop neutering the class until you’re ready to fix it ENTIRELY.
The devs have this really harmful philosophy that if the class EVENTUALLY gets to where they want it, then all the months of misery prior are justified. Yeah sure maybe by 6.5 samurai will be baller and we will get laughed at for whining about it now, but that’s still months and months of playing with these changes.

I don’t even think Katien removal is that big of a deal anymore. I’ll miss it for sure, but the far more detrimental problem is with midare. Midare is samurai bread and butter, and now it hits for about as much as a Gekko or Kasha crit. They seriously messed up with the potency reductions on midare and ogi. I’m willing to bet they could ease a very big portion of the samurai players complaints with a very justified potency adjustment to midare and ogi. You can run the math all you want and insist that it’s the same damage as before the change, but it’s very hard to justify to a samurai player why one day their midares will be hitting for 50-60k and then the next they can barely break 20k. All the math in the world won’t stop my brain from comparing those two numbers and feeling like I’m substantially weaker.
But don’t worry guys, in two years by 6.5 I’m sure samurai will be where the devs want it!
Please look forward to it!

please revert

Please and thank you! +1

I'm calling it, 6.5 SAM would be even worse than what we have right now.
7.0 will see SAM getting the SMN treatment and pull lower aDPS than a Dragoon in exchange of "being easier".
By 8.0 they will just outright remove the job because BLM doesn't need the competition.

Man, after what they did to my Bard in 3.0, the thought that they can do even worse never crossed my mind. "Surely that was rock bottom." I say, in absolute ignorance.
They're outdoing themselves in being [redacted] at their damn job. What an achievement.

I will be back tomorrow to like this post again and the next day and the next day, etc.

Yes I am no longer playing samurai and play Monk and reaper instead.

Please revert the changes

Day 3, still don't like them.

I'll check for a new post every day and provide my upvote. godspeed, soldier.

I am once again asking you to revert Samurai changes

another day another day of bad samurai gameplay. WHEN WILL WE GET KAITEN BACK.
