Thread: Patch Notes 6.1

Dragoon looks okay to me. A light touch, one button went away. Sounds good to me. I look foward to try to jump even more AOEs now that I have a btter chance of getting out of them.

Overall sounds like a nice update for me. I hope it also shakes out that way while playing it.

Nothing's stopping you from putting the PerfectMinuet button in both places while other people who want to save a bar space save a bar space. This change 100% does not need a reversion.

Not only did they go through with removing Hissatsu: Kaiten, they also nerfed the damage of Midare Setsugekka and Ogi Namikiri. Holy shit.

Including the extra 200 potency from the 20 kenki we don't spend on Kaiten (assuming it's spend on Shinten instead), this is a SLIGHT potency increase on non-Kaeshi Midare Setsugekka, from an average 1138.5 potency to 1160 in BiS raid gear with 25% crit chance and 60% crit magnitude. But including Kaeshi, which did not require 20 kenki for a Kaiten cast, it's a nerf from an average 2277 potency to 2120. That's a 7.5% nerf to one of our biggest burst window GCD combos.

Ogi Namikiri, which is always used with its Kaeshi counterpart, is a nerf from an average 3105 to 2760. That's 12.5%!

This gap only widens under any sort of crit raid buff, as these skills no longer benefit from them. The extra 20% crit chance from Devilment, for example, would buff the average Ogi/Kaeshi combo to 3429 potency, 24% more than the one in 6.1.

A guaranteed crit Midare Setsugekka in 6.1 is going to do less damage than a basic, non-crit Kaiten-buffed Midare from 6.0. It's almost like they don't understand why SAM is fun.

I was wrong they DID remove Kaiten...........
I dunno wtf they're thinking but I hate it, cmon guys...
Take a hint devs, I dunno why they'd go through with such a change met with so much overwhelming negativity.
It's not just basically everywhere but also big creators and Streamers too everyone basically came together and said '' this is shit ''.

You may be able to keep it separate. On gunbreaker you can keep the continuation weaponskills on separate buttons despite the 6.0 changes.

Well, they massacred Samurai. Guess it's time for Reapers to shine again.
