SAM is dead

[Ryaz]

This may be my personal opinion, but I never saw Kaiten as an iconic ability. It simply was a Samurai's Dark Arts / Life Surge / Reassemble (5.0+) that gave you an obligatory button press before Iaijutsu. Arguably the Iaijutsu as a whole is iconic to XIV Samurai and managing the Sens was interesting (at least when Hagakure for Sen->Kenki exchange was viable).

Regarding forced criticals / forced direct hits - I totally see your point, but for the same reasons Inner Release guaranteed Crit-DH on Fell Cleaves SAM now has their strongest hits be forced Crit-DH; it was to remedy huge damage fluctuation whether you hit your Midare / Tsubame. I for one am looking forward to how well the Crit + DH overcap adjustments will affect SAM.


This is hyperbole and you know it. "Bleeding DPS" as if DPS aren't a massive surplus. Please.

Yes, it is hyperbole. If an average person looking to get into the game came to the official forums looking for advice, they'd probably think they game was dead and the plug was being pulled tomorrow.

There's flaws with the game, of course. All games have flaws. But the sheer amount of cynicism and entitlement on these forums is as bad as the "there is nothing wrong with the game!" fanboys.

Another "Kaiten" Oh My God, My Life Is Ruined Thread?

Oh no, another unqualified comment.

[Jaquan]

Oh no, another unqualified comment.

Oh no another failed sarcastic response.

Oh no, another unqualified comment.

Unqualified... Comment? What Does That Even Mean?

Oh & I'm Not The One Who Is Crying Over A Minor Inconvenience Like A Skill In A Video Game Being Removed?
"Oh Nooo... My Damage Numbers Became Low" "I Can't Go On Living Now That That Skill Is Removed & My DPS Is Small"

People Are Dying Out There, Starving & In A Much Worse Situation Than Yours... While You & Many People Out There Are Worried About A Skill In A Game?
Really? Maybe Something To Think About?

The "people have it worse than you out there" argument. So we can't complain about anything unless we are starving or dying?
I'll go ahead and tell you to apply what you preach to yourself. Go away and stop complaining about us providing feedbak that Yoshi P asked for.

From Your Reply I'm Going To Assume That You Are Vain, Conceited & A Selfish Person Who Cares Only About Themselves. The Entire World Is Suffering, There Are Real Problems Out There & You Are Worried About A Minor Change In A Game? The Job Is Playable Just Fine

I, Unlike You Am Not The One Complaining About This... Soul-Shattering Inconvenience, Oh & Btw... I'm Not Perfect But I Try To Help Here & There.
(Yes I Already Apply What I Preach)

Did Yoshida-San Really Ask For Feedback Regarding This Dilemma? Don't You Think That There Are More Important In-Game Issues That Are More Important Than A Skill & Damage Numbers? If You Answer Yes Then... How Pitiful

Yoshida did ask for feedback yes, so we give it.
And my dear sir, you are a troll. Please return to your cave.
What you are doing is called a false dichotomy.

Also please learn about punctuation.

What a ridiculous piece of talking flesh you are.
