The current job design system is not fit for purpose

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

To be fair, FFlogs can be faulted for that to a certain extent. Prior to Shadowbringers, logs only credited personal DPS as its sole ranking factor. This meant all selfish jobs weren't considered valuable since they actively hurt the logs of everyone else. Had that system stayed in place, Black Mage and Samurai would once again be suffering.

Now with that all said, Samurai certainly needed some buffs damage wise but rotationally, it was fine. The whole change to Hagekure made very little sense, especially given the new system is far less intuitive and rather clunky. Of course, that's only my opinion.

The new system for Sam works fine, especially after they added hagakure back in.


I've had no issues with SAM since the changes. It's not clunky at all.
