I explain all of the important aspects about Samurai to get started, with enough detail that it should also equip you for the first many levels of the job by understanding the what and why of the toolkit!
Understanding the concepts of GCD and oGCD can be helpful for your progress as a Samurai. I have a short going through the basics quickly:

I also have a longer video going a bit more in-depth, however, it is a bit older, yet still entirely relevant:

Literally what I wanted. Thank you.
Higanbana > everything else
Yay! I have spent the past weekend trying to understand Ninja, but I hope to go back to Samurai and understand it better now that my American mind is better able to understand the japanese terminology 🙂
I've mostly been playing SAM in raids, so the AOE section was super duper helpful for the very rare occassion I feel like taking it in dungeons (which might be pretty often since I'm levelling an alt at the moment).
