Just Another Samurai Thread About "That"

[Quor]

Thanks for that write-up. I started playing in 5.3 ShB so I never got to experience the game evolve (after reading what you typed up, it's more like devolve) into what it is today

So you think Battle Litany will become another Technical Finish, Chain stratagem will become another Mug Attack, and Devilment will maybe amp the standard finish 5% buff to x% for 20 seconds? I'm worried what 7.0 will look like

Like Afro said it'll probably be crit damage boosting, but they could also just be general damage% increases. That's the easiest most boring thing to do but it will ensure that no "crit damage" meta ever takes hold. Everyone will just boost damage and that's that. Makes it super easy to balance but also means you're less likely to see someone kicked out because they "only" bring a dmg% buff instead of a crit dmg% buff.

They could also go the entirely personal buffing route similar to what they did with NIN. Which would be stupid imo, but hey, 6.1 SAM changes were also stupid and here we are.
