The change of adding the buffs to the Gekko and (>_< K something) was truly what SAM needed. It didn't just raise the skill floor but also the ceiling, highlights how much the devs love the game. Only change I'd make to the job: Kaiten into (O_O the Aoe… 2 Sin… You know the one >_<) was an AOE around you instead of a cone.
Am i the only one who thinks that the hardest hitting attack (namikiri) just looks boring compared to midare?
One thing to note is that for a very miniscule gain in DPS it is optimal to change the first 2 minute rotation a little bit. Because your opener uses 2 tsubame gaeshi charges, your rotation is initially behind 1 gcd until after your 2nd burst window and you will notice your higanbana fall off 1 gcd early before you can re apply it for your first 2 higanbana re applications. To fix this, you need to push your rotation up a gcd before your first higanbana re application. This is done by using yaten –> enpi after your opener and then use meikyo after you get 2 sen before your midare tsubame combo instead of using meikyo after the midare tsubame combo (1:34 in video instead of 1:46 in video). Afterwards you skip doing a hagakure filler for your ogi namikiri burst. This will re-align your first 2 higanbana re applications and also replaces 2 gcd filler with yaten enpi filler which is (an incredibly negligible) potency increase per gcd usage. After this first 2 minute rotation you just go back to the normal odd and even burst rotation (or whatever you are doing for optimization on a per fight basis). Again, all of this is an incredibly minor dps gain since its just like 2 ticks of higanbana and the potency gain from dropping the 2 gcd filler for yaten enpi (napkin math says 16 potency/gcd increase from the yaten enpi switch and 60 potency from 2 higanbana ticks for 76 total potency/1gcd). It can however, lead to some very specific fight alignment improvements such as if you are not holding burst for after limit cut in P2S which is optimal if you are killing before 3rd channeling flow. Sorry for wall of text, let me know if something needs clarification.
