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!
