Samurai Discussion

[Jarinolde]

From what I've been able to find, the only actual change is the Merciful Eyes nerf, which makes sense given that we also have access to Second Wind which is at 500 potency every 2 minutes, in addition to Merciful Eyes technically available every 15-20 seconds.

Though, I guess it kind of spells the death of the ability for all but the most extreme circumstances. Second Wind + Bloodbath will usually be enough in most cases and those cases won't happen so frequently that we absolutely need another 200 potency heal. Plus we'd have to pick it over Seigan, and unless we're Kenki starved somehow, I see it as just ability bloat at this point. Second Wind isn't even going to be on many Samurai's bars unless a specific fight calls for it, as Diversion, Invigorate, Goad and Feint will be either necessary or very close to it, and True North will do more in the long run.
