Thread: Compiled SAM threads against 6.1 changes / Kaiten removal

Perhaps they can at least filter between PVP, Raids, and dungeons and the like. I imagine Monk and Machinist got their reworks in the past due to the low player counts those jobs were known for which they would have had data on. From what I've noticed they do reworks for these two reasons:

A: The job is unpopular (Monk EW rework, Machinist ShB rework)

B: "We don't know how to design for this job from here on"/This job has some old jank: (EW Summoner, 7.0 Dragoon?)

• 3.x-4.05 great job design, good variety in playstyles
• WAR ruined in 4.1, hasn't recovered since
• 4.5 removed MNK playstyle
• 5.0 gutted healers and tanks became super homogenized and lost all aggro management
• 6.0 SMN rework boring as all hell, MNK also unimpressive
• 6.1 killed SAM

DRG looks like it's next on the chopping block. can't wait to quit when that happens.

No doubt Life Surge will bite the dust next, it's just a Gaugeless Cool Down that can be rolled up into Potency increases and maybe one Combo Finisher getting a selfheal, if the devs are a bit merciful.. Geirskogul has the same cool down as Jump so that can be rolled up there as well.. and Mirage Dive is just a Waste anyway.. looking at Paladin.. Fight'o Flight? again gaugeless, nonsense button, rolling up into Potency Increases, done.. Req.. Cool Skill, true but so was Kaiten *Chop* just make the Casts Instant and let us build up req stacks up to 5 to use Confiteor.. the Confiteor Combo is on one button anyway.. what's next? BLM? Leylines? rolling that up to a trait.. but who am I kidding BLM will never be touched..

Please add Kaiten back. It's an amazing animation and really added flair to the job.
