Compiled SAM threads against 6.1 changes / Kaiten removal

[YuuYun]

Huffed enough copium… Its obvious that they wont revert back the changes from the seems of it… if they return kaiten etc sure I will go back to playing SAM but the cone aoe becoming a circle AoE annoyed me the most when this doesnt affect anyone except ultimate raiders.

On the other hand its hilarious how almost every change for the BLM since ARR till now in EW (except flare gain on 2 removal) has been positive. Is it a coincidence?

Now i learnt after they simplify all other jobs *cough* (DRG and AST next on the execution platform which has been delayed) the only thing ill find in the ashes will be the BLM.

See you all SAM mains in the after life was good time playing the job up till now. (Unless it magically gets reverted)

BLM is so well designed compared to any other job it's becoming indeed hilarious. All your spells make perfect sense, nearly every spell has its AoE counterpart, your rotation isn't static, there are always ways to improve. Gameplay is completely different than any other job, because BLM is only actual caster left in the game. Leylines and hardcasting means that every encounter can be minmaxed and mastered.

Then you have SAM, which got neutered in single patch because *insert SE's excuses which gets disproven within minutes*. The whole idea of building up resources and then using them in burst with insane damage was destroyed overnight. Having cast times on Iajutsus and Ogi is unjustified now.

BLM is SE's spoiled child and SAM is the middle child which lives under staircase. And then there are healers, which are not allowed in the house and live in a shack in the garden.

But hey, at least our sacrifice finally fixed WAR.

I'm not counting my chickens - as far as we know gauge management is still gone, overpower is still stupid and equilibrium's HoT is no longer any use as a pulling tool. In fact all that's changed is a contrived solution to a manufactured problem which may or may not result in comically low potencies on fell cleave and the like when implemented. The correct solution, as ever, was still the removal of all guaranteed direct crit skills and replacing them with a potency boost.
