Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

[FrogBiscuit]

6.11 just killed meme rotation, but I wasn't expecting 6.11 to be the rollback patch (but a small part of me still hoped!). Going to keep the fight for kaiten and Samurai going till 6.2, that's the earliest I think we can expect real feedback on Samurai's future.

As someone that notoriously hasn't kept up with patch date release schedules...

Do we have any idea of when 6.2 would be around? 6.2 is the general feeling I had also right from the get go, as far as a chance of getting a revert, or fix.


As obscure and infuriating as the changes have been, I fully expected SE to give their change some time to settle and see if the noise dies down after some time passed...
(Not to mention other classes of which have sat neglected for ages)

But I'm curious if we are thinking like 2 - 4 months?

I dread the idea that SAM will sit and languish in its decrepit and dull state all the way to 7.0.

Current patch cycles run for approximately 16 weeks, so we have another 14 weeks until 6.2, or roughly mid-August (the 16th, if 16 weeks is the actual length between 6.1 and 6.2).

Yah, that is pretty disappointing to hear. Hopefully we see something before 6.2

Thanks for the details.

You wont. Get used to being a shinten bot or rerolling to another class. But at least SE fixed your button bloat issue, right? Or was it the damage issue? I forget which excuses they want to use. All I know is samurai is flat out boring to play. Have to play it for the first week of Dragonsong because SE screwed samurais over on gear and wont refund our tomes and books, and my god, being a shinten bot for an ultimate was still putting me to sleep.

This is probably bloating the job's playrate quite significantly, since a lot of people who only farmed one savage set will be forced to do the ultimate on Samurai for the first week or so, myself included
