Samurai Discussion

[Sai-Kon]

Moreover, while looking at other dps classes' rotations and how high burst they have in their openers to inflate the DPS numbers, for instance a 9x Fire IV BLM opener, I have a strong suspicion that Higanbana's DoT will most likely be buffed by Hissatsu: Kaiten so that we can keep up with the rest DPS-wise. While simulating SAM openers I was always getting that feeling that something is missing from our rotation, something does not feel as smooth. In some simulations where I assumed that Higanbana's DoT is affected by Kaiten, the opener felt more fluid and the DPS higher (which is how it should be given that we only have 1 DoT).

Last but not least, another important thing to consider is the slashing debuff and whether we have a member in the team like WAR who can apply it for us early so we can opt for an opener starting with Jnpu buff/combo, which is comparatively superior to Yukikaze combo buff wise and potency wise (despite Yukikaze being a 2-part combo).
