I have accepted that the auto crit is sadly here to stay. I disagree with it since it feels like Sam is getting singled out and punished and it should have come with a crit rework but I can live with it IF they redistribute the potencies back into Midare and Ogi and make those number higher so it's a more dopamine giving crit. I think that crit buffs like devilment and litany should buff auto crit moves even more than they do already to make up for the loss in crit chance increases that other jobs like MNK and RPR can benefit from more. It's unacceptable that jobs like WAR and SAM lose out so heavily on certain party buffs. Something has to be done.

Kaiten absolutely must come back. Yoshi P's reasoning to remove the skill doesn't hold up under scrutiny. They say it's because kaiten limits the skills they can add later but there are multiple easy solutions to this. Either make it so that kaiten only buffs iajutsu and ogi, which would be completely fine since that's what it's used for already, or if they add a new skill they can easily just put in the tooltip "not affected by kaiten". Either way they should have waited until 7.0 when they actually add new skills! It's unfair to SAM players to gut job mechanics early in an expansion needlessly when the job was popular.

The conal change to tenka is also puzzling. Why does reaper get three conals and when it's a new job this expansion if they have to remove it from SAM? Are they anti conal aoe or not? Machinist, RDM, Bard, DNC still have them. It makes no sense. Also adding a controversial change like this when SAM also got two changes they must have known the playerbase wouldn't all love seems very unfair to SAM players. Read the room! We are paying customers and it seems tone deaf to subject us to all these bad changes in the span of one update.
