Hello, another samurai who made an account just to voice my opinion on how bad the changes are.

First of all, I was trying to be open minded about changes, but after trying new samurai in savage raids, new extreme and unreal content, I have to say the jobs feels worse to play in every aspect compared to previous version. Removal of Kaiten makes the Kenki management close to non-existent, and Shinten in itself if pretty boring ability. Whole class and power fantasy was building up resources and then finishing with a huge move (Midare) for massive damage, this was enhanced with Kaiten having a cool animation, like preparing for huge attack as master swordsman. Now even the big hitters are ruined, since they do pathetic damage compared to before. I know the damage numbers will roughly be the same, but it doesnt feel good to go through my rotation just to finish with 23k crit wet noodle Midare. This new changes really dont feel good to play, please revert them ASAP. As for addressing the "button bloat", there were far more obvious abilities to remove, like making Ikishoten and Ogi into a one button, consolidating Guren and Senei into 1 ability and making Shoha 2 into a direct upgrade for Shoha 1. If the problem was having too many ogcd buttons, it doesnt help it in that way either, since now you just spam Shnten insted of Kaiten.

Overall, changes are massively disappointing, ruining the fun and class fantasy of the jobs and I hope they will be addressed very soon.
