Samurai Buff

Nah SAM as a whole has a distinct playstyle and shit, just the LB feels so out of place with the stupid fucking gimmick. Removing that would encourage more interaction with SAM while giving their LB some more impact overall. I've seen so many high ranked players complain how the LB is "useless" in their tiers but like, it's still unblockable 24k damage lmao.

As for frontlines, AoE shit dominates hardcore. One day I decided to queue FL as ninja for the fun of it. Never played the job before and I got like 15 kills just by pressing LB at the right time. They really need to nerf the range on that down to half or so. 30y is nuts for a resetting execute.

[Zantetsuken]'s 24000 dmg default hit without the Kuzushi condition is actually not a Guard pierce, from what I found out recently.

I tried to hit through Guard with it intentionally, but it did 2400 damage on a target below 24000 HP.

Ooooh wow. That LB really is worthless without the gimmick.. There's something they could do with it at least. Make it pierce guard in return for not having that stupid gimmick nobody likes.

I still think the problem with samurai is the cast abilities. It's damn strong even outside it's LB but the Ceiling and Floor are so far apart people below diamond don't get to see those samurai at work.

I still wish they would come up with something better than the LB it currently has. It's annoying to manage against a good samurai and even worse to play with if your team's samurai is on the low end of the skill pool. It's super overtime and the enemy is at the gates, but Billy still hasn't used his limit break because he really wants that 5 ko!

Yeah like I've mentioned before, remove the one-shot gimmick, make it pierce guard with the 24k damage maybe on a longer range to compensate for the cast time. SAM's gimmick is stupid and it forces non-interactivity where at best you don't touch the character at all and at worst you'll get one shot just for clipping them with an aoe meant for someone else.

Yeah, with such a robust history across the franchise it seems like the lazy way to go. Also feels weird that most dps have something in their actual kit turned into their LB except MCH and SAM.
