Attemting to articulating why people are so up in arms about the change

[Retsamoomeht]

I had a much longer version of this post that got eaten as apparently I had somehow been logged out by the time I finished it.
So I'm going to make the same post again but in bullet form.

Kaiten
-Kaiten added a lot to the feel of samurai. It felt like a moment of preparation before unleashing your most powerful attack. The animation flowed into the Iajutsu cast animation so well.
-Without it, Iajutsu's don't feel so impactful.

Guaranteed Crits
-Personally I don't care about overall potential DPS output, you can clear fights just fine with any job. However, the really big hitting attacks, like the ones with guaranteed hits are a big draw to the job and we all like seeing big numbers on the screen.
-Guaranteed crits are supposed to cut down on damage variance in addition to making up for Kaiten's loss
-I don't really think the damage variance is a big deal. You either clear the fight, or you clear the fight but also sometimes hit some really big numbers
-Guaranteed crits are a bit of a soft nerf to other classes, with abilities like Chain stratagem and Battle Voice now providing zero benefit on these abilities.

Tenka Goken
-The circle aoe looks silly
-I quite enjoyed having to reposition a lot in trash pulls to maximize the effect of my abilities. AOE rotations are already quite simple.
Meikyo Shisui
-This change good
-Reinforces the change made to melee's ranged GCD's made in 6.0

I'll type out the full conclusion, though.

I imagine any dev or moderator reading this forum must be exhausted given it's current state, but I hope you understand that the frustration and anger comes out of a place of love for Samurai and the Job design before now. 6.08 samurai is in my opinion the best it has ever been. The increased range of Iajutsu's isn't something I knew I wanted but and very happy to have it. Oga Namikiri activates all of my brain cells and I love it.
I hope you'll consider reverting the changes. Many people are frustrated and confused as these changes feel unnecessary and a bit out of left field, and almost entirely unwanted.
I do feel a lot of the job changes in 6.1 feel uncalled for, but I haven't had my hands on the rest of them to judge. However, I can definitely say, that without Kaiten samurai feels empty.

Wholeheartedly agree with post, and this line really hits home... I come off as like this raging player on the forums, but I am just really passionate about what I lost and enjoyed so much...
