  1. You missed the BIG QoL changes: the buffs from Jinpu and Shifu, which come from the 2nd in each of the two 3-part single target combos, are now also granted by the third ability in those combos, Gekko and Kasha, when used under Meikyo's free combo buff, and by the two existing AoE finishers Mangetsu and Oka (which currently extend but do not grant these buffs). This is going to make the opener and AoE sooooo much smoother, as you don't have to burn through 2 full ST combos before AoEing, nor do you have to do 1 combo and 2/3rds of another to get them during the ST opener.

  2. Nooo, Hissatsu Seigan, you were actually nice and useful! Remember those times you got so much Kenki, you needed to dump a lot of it without clipping your GCD (since Shinten as a 1s cooldown)? Yeah, Seigan was your bro. Helped with boss transition phases when you wanted to dump 15, rather than 25, and get to a much higher kenki count after Ikishoten/meditate for the reopener. Especially in the busy burst phase where weaving space was scarce, being able to not have to wait a GCD to dump enough kenki was super nice. All you needed was to get hit once 15 seconds before or so, which in raids is easy. It was also a more direct reward for managing to proc Eyes Open. Other than that, super cool, but man… I'm gonna miss Seigan.

  3. Glad they took away the tiny ass heal and seigan from third eye. Yeah, I found myself using seigan a lot more once I learned how it functioned but the potency was low, it was very situational potency and the heal ability at level 80 when you have 140K+ hp as a samurai was like….maybe 7-9K hp? Not once did it ever save me or make me survive a mechanic, it was just there as a GCD to press if you mitigated an instance of damage with third eye. All I ever cared about was the DR% on third eye anyway, but now if it's gonna give me extra kenki, I'm a fan. Good change.

    Interesting to see how the opener changes with the cd change on ikishoten and now Ogi Namikiri. You're still gonna want to get your basic buffs like jinpu and shifu up before you ever hit it and ikishoten is usually your 2nd gcd for the opener. I wonder how long the "Ogi Namikiri Ready" status is active for? Is it permanently up until you decide to use Ogi or is it timed? Because that would be good to know.

  4. As a SAM main this is kinda underwhelming, get two new skills which is ogi namikiri, and kaeshi namikiri is kinda sad. Getting nerf on midare and setsugekka too, also why Shoha 2? Shoha 1 is already a letdown. But I can see Samurai burst phase is really really strong with Senei 1k1, ogi 800 and namikiri 1200

  5. Couldn't they have made Ogi Namikriri/Kaeshi Namikiri use the same skill hotkey as Ikishoten, since you need to use Ikishoten before using Ogi and the status effect to use Ogi has less duration than Ikishotens cooldown? Samurai already has so much button bloat.

  6. Of all the times I've ran dungeons and raids with SAM, I've never once used a Setsu (green) sticker for my AoE combo into Tenka Goken. Mangetsu and Oka help to maintain your damage and speed buffs, whereas this new AoE GCD to acquire your Setsu sticker doesn't do either of those. So my question is, what really was the point in adding this new ability (Hyosetsu) when it's outshined by the other 2 (Mangetsu and Oka)?

  7. Thanks for the fun video!

    How hard is it to remember the Samurai and Ninja skill names?

    Ogi(奥義/おうぎ) in Ogi Namikiri(奥義波切) sounds cooler if you pronounce it O-u-Gi😄

  8. Love the new ability but locking it behind ANOTHER 2 min cd is just lame. The base rotation is awesome on Samurai. Only thing bringing it down are these 2 min CDs on Hissatsu skills and now Ikishoten which leads to Ogi Namikiri. This straight up shouldve just been a finisher after using Shoha 2 times or something of the sort. If they can put that shit on DRG, no reason they cant make it happen on SAM.

  9. I got so good at timing Third Eye to keep myself alive when healers died… But I guess we don't need that anymore with heals from PLD 😁
    I remember reading the tooltip for Seigan and thinking "that's useless" and leaving it off my bars even though I had room 😏
    Samurai has been making a strong case for it to be my main class in Endwalker… The fact that an Elezen is in the official artwork and I NEVER see Elezen SAMs, much less femzens…
    Is destiny calling me?
