oh, it's the recast? well then lemme adjust my comment but... >_> I think they're missing the spot with SMN. At least it isn,t Samurai level of butchery.

but if you needed to move in ifrit you could just use the charge and then shimmy, unless youo had to go outside of the boss then just use ruin 4 any other time, well... theres no point in it. So ultimately it just means that swift will be used to snapshot Slipstream and the effect they wanted wont be achieved.

Lol Do you prefer the MCH changes or the SAM ones.

At least SAM still does damage. MCH doesn't, and still has the same anti-synergy toolkit with non-crit/dh Wildfire and 100% crit/dh Reassembles except we've had those for a while already.

Hitting bigger dps numbers on Samurai doesn't mean much if the job itself isn't satisfying to play. Removing Kaiten is a really bad idea that lowers job satisfaction and complexity of the class. They need to either return it or replace the skill that also utilizes the kenki gauge in a meaningful way.

SAM won't even hit bigger DPS numbers. And they won't hit harder either; a guaranteed crit Midare Setsugekka or Ogi Namikiri will hit for LESS than a NON-crit Kaiten-buffed Midare or Ogi from before the patch, even in BiS gear.

You're right, I was looking at some of the potency increases. But yes, overall we will do less dps.
