is it just me or is SAM a little too overcomplicated

If you don't have a MMO mouse, I suggest getting the Logitech g600. It's fairly inexpensive and you can bind almost 30 keys all to the mouse itself.

I play with the G700s and i don't plan to change that 9 keybinds on a mouse is enough for me

It's just you.

I won't play for a minute though - SAM skill names look like a pain to memorize with no means of connecting the term to the skill.

Shifu and Kasha are based on a flower/sakura blossom theme (Ka is the flower Sen icon).

Jinpu and Gekko are based on a darkness/moon theme (Getsu is the moon Sen icon)

Yukikaze is based on an snow/ice theme (Setsu is the snowflake Zen icon).

In the end, the names don't mean a lot, though. The combos are basically the same as other melee classes (1-2-3 or 1-2). Once you match the icon that lights up to a button press, you won't even need to know the names. I know with my set up pressing Q, W, E will give me the flower, Q, R, T will give me the moon, and Q, Y will give me the snowflake. If 1 icon is lit, I use a different combo to light a different icon (unless I use it to put up my DoT).

Is a very easy class: no RNG procs, no resource decay, long duration buff/debuff, short CD, you can recover from mistakes quickly, high mobility and it's easy to perform at a decent level.

Exactly... In the end Kenki management will be what really separates the good players from the great players. But you can still perform well if you're at least decent at that aspect. I think that's what they were going for in this expansion - less of a skill gap between the best and worst, without making combat feel unrewarding to good players.

I think as well, SAM is pretty easy. Not as easy as RDM tough, but still one of the easier Jobs.

Is easy... just love 17k crit now... soon they will nerf it. Enjoy while it last..

Its a super-simple job to play in comparison to the now-inferior other DPS roles, and it puts out the biggest numbers, AND is usually the best recipient for any force multiplier. We are playing the unbalanced golden child of this expansion, and I fully expect either massive nerfs to happen, or everyone and their dog being SAM.
