Simple Samurai fix that keeps identity

[Avenheit]

>Revert changes to 6.08 samurai
>Combine Shoha 1 and 2 - 50% potency fall off after the first target
>Combine Ikishoten and Ogi-Namkiri


If you're still worried about "button bloat"

>Combine Guren and Senei

I don't expect to be paid for my brilliance, But I'll accept an NPC of my beautiful FemRa where you can only interact with her when you're on the SAM job class where you simply get the option to "Offer your Thanks".

Unlikely they will step away from the auto crit design. They are clearly moving in a direction away from crit stats to stop the wide swings of high and low parses and by the time 7.0 roles around the crit buffs from support jobs will likely be completely different. As much as I hate the changes, I will say my overall dps has been significantly more consistent even if it is like 3% less than my usual high spike parses. I would love to see 50k+ ogi namikiris but that just aint happening. At the very least I'd like to see kaiten return and just have that function create the auto crit.

I would be able to accept that. So long as the rotational flow of the job is back to feeling silky smooth. I dislike big gaps of nothing between my GCDs when I'm rocking 2.43-2.47s due to poor gear. Shinten is just too fast to fill that void.

I also really hope they do something about Tenka Goken and fix it. It's so horrible that kyuten is actually a better option, rather than a complimentary one.

They are to SE.

That should be readily apparent for SCH. DRG will sadly find out the hard way next major patch.

[Karious]

Can't wait for patch 8.3 where we get a single rotation that we can't fail, and no other skills.

Yoshi-P has already acknowledged the crit buff issues and has more or less stated that they are likely going to be redesigning the crit stat up to 7.0. By 7.0 those buffs will likely function in a completely different manner.

Completely different manner probably means "5% increased damage for 20 seconds on a 120 second cooldown."

The Situation: A universal issue that could easily be solved by converting excess chance into bonus effect (e.g., a 120% chance of a +50% crit bonus -> 100% chance of a +60% crit bonus).

The Likely Response: Let's just homogenize all the raid buffs. Now that we stripped all Crit procs from all but Monk and did everything in our power to remove useful Speed tiers, it's not like they do anything differently anyways.
