No, because Kaiten put a literal Spin on the Samurai Rotation which is gone and why the Job feels now more stale..
I recently saw a Video about the SAM Changes on DT and ._. WTF WERE THEY THINKING!?!? Why does Meikyo generate Tsubame Stacks?
Who asked for 1 minute Guren/Senei?
Regarding Guren/Senei..
Why is it bad that Guren/Senei lined up with Ikki?
Why is Zanshin just a OG Guren but Cone?
Shoha being merged is bad because now we lack agency to determine what we wanna hit and what not (but many ppl asked for a merge, I guess. So now if I locked into a Situation where I have to focus 1 mob in a Trash Pull I sit on my Shoha Stacks instead of just blasting the Single Target Shoha.. LESS RESOURCE INTERACTION YAAAY, just like Kenki*cough*)
Why does Higanbana get excluded from Tsubame and not just find another solution (I'm not a Fan of Excluding Iaijutsu)
Samurai kinda looks they applied Pre-Rework DRG designs applied to them.. like seriously another Midare/Goken Animation.. like High Jump?? huh
Judging from What I saw so far of DT Samurai: It looks more like a clunky Dynasty Warrior than a Realised Master of the Blade who has become One with the Battlefield!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are my suggested Changes for Samurai:
- Reintroduction of Kaiten, but it applies Direct Hit now, So not only does it reward Kenki Interaction but also interacts with SAM's Auto Crit, rewarding with Direct Crits now.
- Ikkishoten turning Shinten into Senei and Kyuten into Guren, saving 2 Buttons
- Tenka Goken remaining a Cone
- Tsubame being a Follow-Up to Iaijutsu (maybe half the damage for balancing reasons)
- Shoha staying seperate to offer the Player Agency of what they wanna do instead of having an entire resource for a Line AoE?
- Removal of the Kenki Cost of Gyoten/Yaten, since they're utility
- A Single Target Ogi instead of Zanshin, to Expand on the Player Agency Idea
THEORY TERRITORY- Now.. If I come up with something New-ish taking into account from what I saw from the DT SAM, I would make that Tendo Buff a Follow-Up to Tsubame, basicly: Iaitutsu -> Tsubame -> Tendo. Which may turn the Samurai into a Iaijutsu Spammer but to be honest with Kaiten, The Samurai a Midare Setsugekka Spamurai and that felt so Good!
- Thinking about Higanbana following Changes come to Mind: add Tsubame DoT and Tendo DoT
