Never have I stated I willingly accepted any of the changes... Hell we're both raiding and still playing the game so to some degree we both accepted the changes, begrudgingly? Yet we're still here playing. We just dislike different things that got changed and value different things.
When " Ogi Namikiri " was introduced... Midare: Setsugekka was just rebalanced to be in line with Caster damage, which already you were highlighted in the Balance Discord regarding this topic. Ogi Namikiri also serves as a really good filler to make our new rotation loop if you know the concept of looping outside of its Cooldown. Now, that it's a 2 minute cooldown however... is a much larger topic towards the 2 minute meta that i dislike? But that has been pretty much shoved onto everyone, this is not a Samurai exclusive thing/problem/issue if you do not like the 2 min meta as it is now.
As for " Hissatsu: Kaiten " not affecting us or not the problem? I mean look at this list and look what happened to that precious Midare: Setsugekka you value once it was removed...
As you can see? The potency we channeled from Kaiten through our Iaijutsu's including Midare did not get spread onto our iaijutsu's after Kaiten removal it just got spread throughout everything...
Yoshi P admitted to what makes those jobs appealing are big crits, and if you valued Midare as the hard hitting skill? then yes this affectd it. Not to mention the initial start of Auto Crits being implemented at the time being horrendous ( which I also don't agree with, but they improved it afterwards after the JP Samurai's were super super super angry... ). Still? Samurai as job... Hits hard... and its DPS performance is not really something I am interested in as Numbers can be fixed at anytime a lot easier vs Lost Skills being a lot harder to regain or replaced with something better any time soon, mhm.
