Samurai 5.0 Wishlist

[SpeckledBurd]

The problem I have when coming up with new skills for Samurai is that, assuming the devs want to keep it as it is as far as "Sky high DPS, low utility", it's kit is basically perfect. The only thing it needs is more numbers on it. Otherwise, it's got an excellent flow to it's rotation, extremely lenient timers for its buffs/dot, by extension of lenient timers its got one of the most flexible rotations in the game, and to top it all off it's movement kit is basically perfect, with DPS neutral movement skills on such a low cooldown that you'll basically never want for a gap closer or a backstep.

Otherwise the only thing you could say it really needs would be some kind defensive utility on the level of strength of Mantra (IE, low or extremely niche) and some kind of 15-20 second self buff that would give it an appreciable burst phase rather than leaving it as a sustained DPS so it can benefit a little more from Buff Stacking like every other job can.
