Proposed Samurai Adjustments/Fixes

[Lersayil]

Well first, you wouldn't do ikkishoten and old haga together because you'll over fill unless they nerf ikkishoten, so that's a pretty silly point. Nobody in their right mind would do that....60+50.
Unless I'm reading it wrong.

Shinten does make samurai active what?? you have to press it every gcd/or other gcd while making sure you always enough kenki for kaiten for midare, bana and your big burst kenki attack. So there is your interactive as well. It affects your kenki gauge, hagakure also add some interactive since that's what it seems you want.

If you don't mind high APM jobs why does it feel like you're fighting to NOT have hagakure back.

Its and extra button but so what? that extra button makes the job busy and engaging. Honestly, if you rather just flow through your rotaton without pressing anything else, not to be rude but play dragoon.

You could stack Ikkishoten and Hagakure AFTER burning enough Kenki so it wouldn't overcap, thus creating a theoretical burst window of 60+50+ whatever Kenki you've hoarded before. Thats somwhere between 4-7 Shintens back to back, minus a Kaiten if an Iaijitsu needs it.

And no, one button does not an interesting rotation maketh. Just ask most of the SB DRK's how they liked spamming Dark Arts.

Dont get me wrong, I liked Hagakure mixing up the Sen and Kenki generation, but with the current iteration of Ikkishoten and Tsubame Gaeshi, I don't think that giving us back the old Hagakure (and thus more Shintens) is a good solution.

If anything, I think we need more Kenki spenders (or lower cooldown on Senei) so its not as simple as: Save enough for Senei / Kaiten occasionally -> dump everything else into Shinten (occasionally Seigan if you're feeling spicy).

That or something that shakes up the GCD flow, but preferably without giving us more Shintens.

EDIT: also drop the snark. SAM wasnt a high APM job last expansion, and its roughly the same now. The only thing we've lost is the Hagakure interraction with Sen. You are the one advocating to change the job for higher APM. I just want some of the variation back in my rotation as its currently a bit too one note for my taste.
