    Samurai Double Dot?

    Hi Creative business unit III or Yoshi-P.

    I'm writing my idea for samurai overall rotation and dps improvement. As of currently (Patch 6.51) Samurai Higanbana and Kaeshi: Higanbana DoT skill is at a dilemma. Long since expansion 5.x to now Kaeshi: Higanbana is hardly used by Samurai players in any kind of format (Dungeons, normal raids, savage raids and 24 man raids) which is really a disappointment as I can see the potential damage of it but it is not worth to sacrifice an extra Kaeshi: Midare Setsugekka for it. So i'm suggesting if Higanbana and Kaeshi: Higanbana DoT skill can stack, like 2 DoT markers on the boss, one the normal Higanbana and one Kaeshi version on the boss. The idea also opens up a whole new play strategy for Samurai players as it gives player more choice to choose either the DoT path or instant damage path for Iaijutsu. I do need to add that the only situation I can think of when a Samurai right now at patch 6.51 where he/she is forced to use Kaeshi: Higanbana is when she about to die from the next AoE or from a unexpected tank buster (because tank died and didnt pull aggro off in time). Even then, im not sure the weakness debuff causing dps loss from midare setsugekka is more or less than a Kaeshi: Higanbana. Anyways, i have rumbled of a bit. I would love to hear some constructive feedback about this idea because Samurai job is a job that is close to my heart (It's the reason I started playing FFXIV) and I still play/main Samurai from patch 4.31 to now in all content, casual/savage etc.

    Thanks for reading
