Samurai Buff Speculation

[Sylvain]

[INDENT]snip.

I think the 2sec reduction is sounds.

I would see some potency boost but not to all the skills you've listed. Unless you have some theorycraft to back up the net final result of all those potency buff, it seems to be a lot and would put SAM too far ahead other dps job and it seems SE doesn't want SAM and BLM to be too far ahead. Like we should be "first" but not by a lot (and definitely not enough to compensate the lack of raid buff).

Unless all these potency would result in a small gain of a few percent, BLM would need another buff to be on par with you and if anything i'm not expecting more than a few % dps buff to basically make SAM on par (if not 1 or 2% at most) higher than BLM.

Regarding the animation lock this is something most job would benefit from.
For instance, making Sharpcast and Swiftcast have shorter if any animation lock would help greatly in the long run.
