Thread: Samurai 5.0 Changes

That seems kinda scammy :/

Why do you think we made Deliverance an action instead of allowing Wrath stacks outside of Defiance? Or why we have so many AoE combos that amount to simply <+AoE ppgcd, but clunkier and with an extra serving of button bloat>? There are relatively few creative endeavors outside of reductionism they're willing to undertake in a given expansion's job changes, rarely more than one net gain per job, if that.

The rest they try to make up for in what amounts solely to animations, but then they feel they have to commit to that illusion of true addition with added button count which in turn excuses removing actual complexity from jobs elsewhere in their kits.

I was thinking more of a mechanical reason rather than anything else. Maybe in a fight we'll need to actually not kill the adds while fighting the boss, or kill one specific add in a group of many. They added a single target Flare to BLM too, so it seems that Guren and Flare where maybe too much of a risk in this type of scenario... But that's my take on the subject, take that with a grain of salt.

So, from the officially updated site: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/samurai/

Shoha remains the same weaksauce.

Senei was nerfed by 100 potency from previews.

Not much else different.

Senei was nerfed by 150... Jinbu and Shifu buffs are now 13% and 40s long

Shifu is still only 12%.

Shifu tooltip says 13%
Trait says 12%

But only in the english version.

In the Japanese version, it says 13% for both buffs. So I'll assume "12%" is a mistake.

There are some mistakes here and there on various skill descriptions, really. Like Dancer having no skill that can be place in the hotbar at PvP
