Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

Hey folks.

Small update - more voices about the demerits of having guaranteed crits and disrupting party synergy, stating that this isn't a solo game and we raid with 8 members as a reminder. A few more voices on how Iaijutsu impact is nonexistant with the removal of Kaiten and potency shifts. More repeated statements of how our only contribution is DPS, as a pure DPS, and comparisons made yet again (as well as questioning why the adjustment was made to only one job). In short, many agree that the developers have no idea what they are doing with the concept of Samurai. Changing for the sake of convenience, and because Dragonsong Ultimate is all about short phases where burst is quite valuable so its speculated that the changes to Samurai and Ninja were made with this content in mind. Stop treating the game as a beta environment.

Hey folks.

As always, thanks for the updates...

Guessing the JP servers have heard just as much as we have as to any direction SE has for SAM?

Yup, radio silence. Oh but not to worry, YoshiP has enough time to write several messages for housing. Not to say it isn't important, but he created the disaster himself in the first place when he made poor decisions at the start of it's implementation. It has never, ever left the majority satisfied even once with every addition.

Or ninja's trick attack was basically a fairly useless and actually dead ability until you reached level 45 and also did the quest to unlock Huton. That prior to the change, when you got it at level 18, it was for purely for outdoor content. The changes done made rogue useful with mug providing a damage buff when doing early dungeons and trials.

Like I don't know about you, but would you like to have a button on Samurai that you get at level 18, but can't use till 45?

I don't understand what you're trying to argue here. Most jobs have incomplete kits at low levels because that's precisely what it is - low levels. If you want to go that way, yes Samurai has a feels bad low level experience because they only get their dot unlocked for Iaijutsu at 30, and won't have access to their Midare until 50.
