If they want to keep guaranteed crits and fix the anti-synergy in a different way down the road, I'm fine with it. But don't spread out the potencies so Midare and Kaeshi barely hit above your base combo. It's actually a change on Warrior I've never liked as Fell Cleave is only a measly 60 potency above Storm's Path now. At least Primal Rend and Inner Chaos make up for it. Samurai has Ogi Namikiri now and that's it.

Furthermore, I dislike Yoshida claiming this was to future proof the job. Don't make radical changes until you have something new to offer. I couldn't care less if there's some big rework in the making come 7.0 necessitating Kaiten's removal. Make that change in 7.0 not in 6.1 where we now have this hollowed out job for two years. Although, I don't think Kaiten should be removed whatsoever. At this point, it feels like they did it purely for baby players struggling without any thought on just how much it would impact how Samurai feels.
