    To Developers - Samurai changes, needs to be reverted + Solutions

    Here's my primary reasons, as to why the Samurai changes due to "button bloat", is not exactly the best choice.
    There is many abilities than can be removed/merged to fix the button bloat issue.
    But the solution is not to remove a core identity of the Samurai kit.

    Issues

    1. Rotation feels excessively dull
    - You are VERY prone to mess up due to how monotone it is now.

    2. [Kaiten] was a "reset button"
    - It helped people keep track on where they were in their rotation.
    to keep their attention to the screen.

    3. Damage variation "fix" with a guaranteed "Critical Hit" is not a fix.
    - Direct Hit is also a variation when it comes to your overall damage.

    4. All resources "just" dumped into [Shinten]
    - This is excessively dull and makes you not even think about what resources you have.

    ======================================================

    Solutions!

    To fix "Ability Bloat"

    1. Merge [Shoha] and [Shoha II] to be one button.
    - You can change some potency values to make this viable.

    2. Merge [Hissatsu: Senei] and [Hissatsu: Guren] to be one button.
    - You can change some potency values to make this viable.

    3. Merge [Ikishoten] when pressing it, to become [Ogi Namikiri].
    - This will reduce button bloat and make it easier to click.

    4. Merge [Hakaze] when pressing it, to become [Yukikaze].
    - Will reduce button bloat and still keep the same basic combo's to mess up.

    Alternatively, Shinten could upgrade to Senei every 120 seconds and the same for Kyuten and Guren.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.

    The dullness of the job cannot be overstated now. It is so boring.

    I just resumed leveling it and my arm gets tired from all the Shinten spam.
