Samurai needs damage buffs

[Rilifane]

The hell is a freestyle Sam?

Samurai is on a 60s cycle if played correctly and depending on the GCD after buffs, you have a 2-4 GCD filler phase and if any form of downtime occurs, be it from intermissions or uptime loss, you need to adjust your loop accordingly so you don't misalign your cooldowns or they will lose value. So if you lost a GCD and are on a 2 filler, you need to go for a 1 GCD filler and so on.
Meikyo is on a 55s cooldown, double Midare on a 60s cooldown, Ikishoten on 60s aswell but a freestyle Samurai will misalign their cooldowns, using Meikyo too soon or too late, resulting in not getting used for the strong combo finishers to collect stickers, missing stickers for hitting double Midare on time and lacking stickers for regular dot refresh. Instead of playing a clean loop with good dot uptime and selfish burst aligned with raid buffs, they'll constantly have their double Midare at odd times, missing a lot of dot uptime, overcapping Kenki or letting Ikishoten drift and even drop their buffs.
Freestyle Samurai is both a hefty rDPS and aDPS loss but only very few bother with learning the correct loop, let alone constantly adjusting it in a fight with downtime.
Many just play it for Midare goes BRRRRR and the wonder why they get out-dpsed by classes with weaker pDPS.
