They don’t even give the full potency back they took. They took 60 potency (without Kaiten) and gave 40 back. The only skill that is as powerful as it was with Kaiten after the change was Higanbanna. They couldn’t have at least given us 750 Midare with auto Crit? And the fact that Ogi still lost potency too is salt in the wound.

And yet I still see people say that the combo actions got buffed so it made up for it before numbers came in. The problem is this is not accounting for where you use most of your Iaijutsu, especially Ogi, Higanbanna, and Midare. When all the buffs are out. So this isn’t in a bubble of just sams to sams, it’s Smurai being nerfed SPECIFICALLY during big group burst phases and it’s absolutely unacceptable that we lost not just 60 potency to Midare and the follow up with 6.1 but 390 because of the loss of Kaiten and more because of Ogi being nerfed too ALL DURING MAJOR BURSTS. Whoever made these changes must genuinely not play the game or the class because that’s how tone deaf all of these have been.
