So I'm just learning SAM and I'm having a really hard time keeping up with the reset that's supposed to happen at the 6 minute burst and how that works. I'm looking at the infographic and watching the video and my mind isn't really keeping up. Is there a dumb mans version of this break down to try and wrap my head around??

Amazing tips ! Thanks !

Such a great guide! I plan on switching to sam next tier and trying to get practice in now. On a dummy 2.08 lines up perfectly with full uptime as described. But im finding the general downtime mechanics of savage are forcing my even burst to be around 10-20s behind (late) because i cant always keep the combo loop rolling and it compounds. If this happens, would doing the meikyo "acceleration" be recommended to catch up? Even if it means one is not available for odd/even bursts?

Thank you for this, struggling with my SAM DPS on this fight, clearly missing uptime like not dashing backwards all the time or dashing back in before the last part of centerstage combo, good to see a clear and where I can improve

The sheer amount of "Miyekyo" being said here man...

Is the higbana loss on the 1min inevitable? What if you just used your meikyo after you have 2 sen there, so it would be meikyo -> kasha -> double midare -> gekko -> reapply higan just as it wears off? Basically what you're doing in the 2min+ windows except start it at 1min.

Thank you for this video which helped me a lot for my clear , much respect !

Just started playing. Awesome stuff! You’ve gained a sub! Keep it up.

Samurai Guide for 7.05 that explain this rotation and the Meikyo Acceleration Loop in full: bit.ly/SAM-Guide

is it better to move higanbana between tendo on 2 minutes? or is that just something you did during prog

Is that kaiten on your hotbar

Hello! I have a few questions because no matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out. Burst #1 and #2 make sense to me, burst #3 with the skip 2 gcd thing, makes sense to me to (2 minutes have passed so we gotta reallign ourselves) But then...Why are we doing the same sequence as burst #3 on burst #4? Only one minute has passed but we are still trying to "shift forward" by 2 gcds...I didn't really get this one. Then on burst #5, I see Yukikaze > Meikyo being done....Is this supposed to be the 6 minute extra Meikyo charge thing that we use to reset all our gcds back to 0? (Since we precast Meikyo at -15) And if so, why at minute 5 and not minute 6? Then on burst #6 I see the same sequence as burst #5 being done, which I also didn't get, I see Hakaze > Kaeshi > Midare > Yukikaze > Meikyo. I thought maybe it had something to do with the potion but all that stuff happens before the potion, so it can't be that. I can't figure it out. I see on burst #7, Kaeshi isn't smuggled into the burst. Is that so that we are 1 gcd earlier on the next burst? I was trying to think about these things that maybe it had something to do with raid allignment and such, but I just can't figure it out. I assume that these burst phase/rotations are correct and didn't have a mistake in them somewhere cuz I know Ty is a good samurai, but yeah, I just can't figure it out :[ Thanks in advance! And sorry for all the questions

why do you use the samurai gap closer in cool down phases when you can just build up to 25 kenki and spend on shinten?

how much would you be doing on a dummy? dps i mean

How do you make your pull timer have decimals?

You can also apply this to the meikyo acceleration to have earlier bana, but you will end up getting bana in middle of tendo

why the usage of gap closer tho? better dmg per kenki?

Your rotation looks different to your rotation video for 2.14, is that intentional?

2.08??????????? mf turning sam into monk with that gcd speed

Thanks for the video! When mitigating a boss raid wide or AOE stack, do you spend the extra kenki from Third Eye on a dash attack?

thx for this video!!!

Where is this dummy?

So smuggle second tsubame, use before burst tendo and burst starts at 14 seconds with 1 sen and hig should be ready a 1 second left

Where is this area you're using for the dummy?

TYCI I have tried to fix this rotation pass 13:00 It never work Do you have a solution? I know fights rarely drag that far but Inherently this thing is not loopable beyond that. Our meikyo is 55/60, so 2 filler fix Every minute we drift 2. With the extra meikyo in beginning we can patch up around 8:30 with he prepull meikyo But pass that every 2 minute means we are being chased by unloopable hell If you know what I am saying…

where is this striking dummy located

One criticism - the "Mei" in "Meikyo" is kinda pronounced like "May." In Japanese, "e" is pronounced like "eh" and if it's followed by an "i" then you just hold the "eh" sound for slightly longer.

great but keep in mind that in savage for example, you rarely are able to keep that rotation as it is showcased, accelerating even more is the play there if downtime heavy (m3s, m4s)

I might be missing something but wouldn't it be better to hold the Tendo Tsuba at the first 1 min burst and reapply bana earlier? If you're in a comp with scholar/drg I would understand it since the autocrit moves scale better than bana in that situation but otherwise you're dropping a tick for no gain?

Now explain me how it’s better than your savage rotation you did

can you move gekko+higabana before the first kaeshi setsugekka to get more dot time?

Great showcase! Even as a new SAM I think the 7.05 iteration of the 2.14 rotation is very good for learning purposes since it teaches you a lot about meikyo acceleration and higanbana alignment from the get go compared to the 7.01 version.

\o/ congrats!!

That was a great guide Thank you. Do you have a guide for Ninja by any chance Dawntrail?

nice one :D. I tried savage for the first time last night, me and a buddy pugged it and managed to get it to 25% we had a blast figuring it out. We should hopefully get the kill today 😁

I'm excited to hear your thoughts on the new patch and how it could effect builds, rotations, etc! Great content as always!

Nice video! Btw which are your bis when you enter en p1s? U bough any with new tomes?

Waow! I'm your number 1 fan

Do the tanks have to swap for biscuit maker or can they invuln it? Though probably better to save invuln for the tethers at the end.

congrats on the clear, how are you liking the sam changes?

For the "elevate and evict" mechanci during platform phase ? Will it allways be the same order of knock up/smash downs ? Or is there some sort of indicator im missing?

How do you feel about the SAM changes?

Picked up SAM for Dawntrail and this guide was excellent shortening my initial learning curve by a ton. You kick ass!

I wanted a non-guide pov of the fight but didn't expect it to finish before the end third phase at least and I was like "WHERE IS THE REST" and watched the lifebar of the boss and it did makes sens why ahaha

14 prepull meykio is suuuuch bullshit. so pissed off that it is even a thing. just the priciple of it. entering every pf i should ask for a 15 sec timer and when they pull on 10 or even 5 what am i supposed to do? wall it?

I was part of the WoW to FFXIV migration during Shadowlands and despite me being in the current expansion I have considered looking back mostly because of the combat being so different despite me getting a proper groove on things in ffxiv, I legit miss classes such as mistweaver and a ton of other dps specs.

Very well put together guide thank you! You are a natural at this and I've happily subscribed. I had one question that doesn't seem to be mentioned in the guide and maybe it's just me being a smoothbrain SAM here, on fights that go past about 6 minutes I tend to find my Meikyo Shisui cooldown will start to drift to the point of capping back at 2 charges before I can use it for a burst window. I'm experimenting with places to burn it but I wanted to know if there is a good place in a standard loop rotation to use it without accidentally drifting a Higanbana or other time sensitive moves? Edit: Saw that someone else has asked this same question in the comments, thanks for your answer there!
