I'm just not getting the Samurai hype, what am I missing?

That is true when it comes to harder content like EX primals and savage raids where you need to optimize to beat the enrage clock.

But for general content? Its not a high priority.

Still, that doesn't mean you should go out of your way to be lazy and ignore the positionals entirely. It's not like you have to keep dancing around the boss like MNK does or anything, so getting those positionals isn't exactly high effort to begin with.

It just makes it less punishing for you if you can't get into the correct position because you need to move.

After playing so much ninja I just do the positionals automatically. I was glad when I realized Samurai was a lot less punishing in the positional department, and that even if I was forced to move constantly out of melee range (like Susano) where my combo timer was going to wear off anyways Enpi spam was nice for building up Kenki when busy dodging aoes.
