Let's Talk About SAMURAI

[Sidamel]

I should add that I'm frontliner and I only see it from that point of view.

[Anhra]

As a Healer, i think the best way to deal with SAM and friends, is to not deal with them at all. I always focus target the worst one and make sure he cant draw LoS to me OR is out of range (unless hes not paying me any attention).

Worked quite well so far for me.

I mean, there is a reason literally every match has 2 Sams. But its already to late. They all in Crystal now.

The one shot ability is okay if the team wouldnt constanly ignore it.

Another hotfix patch please with some samurai pvp nerfs.

I'm generally not one to jump on the whole "this is busted/broken/nerf" train, but after doing a LOT of pvp in both FL and CC over the past few days with several different jobs, SAM is BY FAR the most ridiculously overpowered pvp job in the game. High damage, high crowd control, high mitigation. There's no weakness. No downside. PVP as a whole has been pretty jacked since the update, but this is ridiculous. Did they playtest this crap at all?

I agree. I main SAM for a reason and they really have too much going for their kit that its ridiculous.

Though their weakness is as follows, take advantage of it if you can.

- Chiten is a 30 sec cooldown and its only up for 5 seconds. Kuzuki lasts 3 sec, so just stun/silence and run.
- Zantetsuken like many Melee LBs are a movement ability, a bind will shut their ult down
- Useless once Midare and Ogi is down so if they are out of these two, feel free to press the attack. Both are 20 sec CD
- Try your best to be healthy (duh) but you would not believe how many people are complacent with their health. Their finish combo usually involves a stun when the enemy is low then channeling Ogi (usually 24k if teammates not around) or Midare (usually 16k)

Sam yesterday killed all 5 of us instantly we had left him last to kill and boom we were all dead.

Leaving a SAM alive, not CCing them, sticking together are such mistakes

I wanna see Yoshida PVP and get 1 shot by a samurai so badly.
His reaction would be priceless to me.
