Sujet : Samurai 5.0 Changes

Meditation cooldown is still 60 seconds.

I can't see the point of Merciful Eyes now the emnity reduction is gone. It's barely a 3k heal at endgame.

What does the "effect cannot be stacked with Higanbana" mean on Kaeshi: Higanbana?

But it's the same potency as Kaiten-Higanbana and Tsubame only repeats the previously executed Iaijutsu. Why would you ever overwrite your DoT with the same potency DoT?

I'm probably missing something obvious since it's late but what's the advantage over double Midare or Goken?

sam is my third fav after monk and ninja. it was great, not as great as monk but am ok with the changes. just wish they added some new animation colors or something when they buffed them

Senei would have been a better choice for lvl 80 skill
But i guess it doesn't really matter when you get it

Shoha is just very odd skill maybe if it kept shinpu and jifu effects for down time during boss so you could just Midare right away when boss get back without worry of no buffs

Its also has basically no CD so I guess we are expected to use it alot?

I only hate the fact they that they removed Hagakure. THE main flavor of the job was to balance your hagakure usage with meikyo and bana, rewarding the player for keeping those 3 aligned.

Now with Haga gone, it all crumbles back to a lvl 60 rotation. Yes, same old level 60 rotation.

Get 3 sens, Midare, repeat. No engaging decision-making, no rewarding sen usage. No fun.

Looks like we got some new toys to make us bigger killing machines.

First, no more TP abilities. So AoE until you're blue in the face!

AoEs now extend Jinpu and Shifu buffs, which is awesome, though they got a little potency nerf.

All our threat reducers are gone. Prepare to get eaten unless tank aggro is changed greatly.

Hagakure gone and replaced with a 60 second cooldown for 50 Kenki without needing Sen.

Enhanced Iajutsu at 72 that lowers cast time down to 1.3 sec.

New skill that let's us repeat the last Iajutsu with enhanced potency (doesn't stack with Kaiten). More hitting like a truck. 60 second cooldown.

Senei, single target Guren.

78 nets us a 2% buff to jinpu and shifu buffs.

80 is Shoha, which no one has really gotten a chance to test yet, but seems extremely underwhelming for a level 80 ability, unless Meditate is changing as well.

Over all, I like the new stuff. Just hope theres more to Shoha than something to be used during downtime for a minor amount of extra damage.

SAM does look fun. I'm joining the ranks from that of a Scholar and am having fun moving through Heavensward content with my SAM now. Thanks to the OP for the compilation of new additions and changes to the class.

Healer main, mage-only who shunned melee after 2.0 MNK. I love SAM, it's fun!
