Samurai 5.0 Changes

[xxvaynxx]

I would say "some" Shinten, not more.
We will definitely see a cut down on the Shinten count.

you could say that but with yuki giving you 15 kenki instead of 10, it kinda makes up for the 10 kenki lost from haga.
So you'll still do the same amount of shinten.
You'll gain that other 5 from a GCD, yuki,jinpu or your combo starter.

Also I meant more as in before samurai got haga.

Hrm... =-=
Not sure if it convinces me enough... I mean, I see your point. At 52 you'll be able to Kaiten every Midare, if positionals are done right...

Still Yuki will need to happen at least 8 times between each Ikishoten to generate as much satisfaction as Hagakure does now Shinten wise...
As Hagakure was not only making 10 extra points at its best, but was happening 20 seconds faster... (I mean, even with 2 Sen is still a better Kenki per second than Ikishoten).
At best it will feel better than what it is now from lvl 52 to 67... Kenki wise...

It still feels sad... :/

oh right, I totally forgot. Its 60secs not 40secs.
Sorry.

Hmm... well, we'll still do the same amount of shinten but at a different times.

Though lucky, its a 60secs which lines up with trick attack and mikyo.
It makes samurai easier but line up will be easier, honestly. I better not see subpar samurai's 3k now honestly.
No excuse not to use this skill at all with mikyo. Because atm, samurai is just bana, midare,midare,midare

60s line-up

Many jobs got that property now precisely to have some synergy I believe.
In SAM's case, its taking advantage of other's buff rather than buffing others.
On that regard I always liked the SAM.
