As a SAM main, not a fan of the change to tsubame by tying it to meikyo, but the rotation still continues to look satisfying. It's definitely going to take a minute for me to adjust to how it feels now, though.

How I have my combo, it wasn’t noticeable. However, when it came to aoe, it completely ruins it

With the 7.01 patch, Tendo Setsugekka and Tendo Kaeshi Setsugekka gcd recast has been reduced from 3.2 to 2.5 making this rotation is patched. Go here to watch for the new one :)

Hey o/
Why do we use Hissatsu : Gyôten (dash in). Doesn't that interfere with the rest of the fight?

[@TheFinalEpic]

You mean during our opener? Its to spend the 10 last Kenki into our pot window.

[@StingcatKnight]

hey how would 2.14 gcd differ from this?

[@TheFinalEpic]

Your dot timing and burst window will be little bit off.

1 slight change I might make to this opener is popping Meikyo at -14s since its now a 20s duration (up from 15s in EW). So if we pop it at 14 we might get an extra usage in certain fights. Depending on kill times obviously. But at least on a training dummy it seems we can get a 2 Meikyos in at the 4min/6min. But they did say they were reducing the cooldown for Tendo (probably Meikyo CD) in patch 7.01, so we might have more meikyo usages in between the opener/2min.

[@TheFinalEpic]

Yeah I wanted to do it at 14 seconds but I might've just waited too long. And I will be doing an updated version for the reduced cast time of Tendo setsugekka, it'll just be endwalker with a new shine now.

Very nice! Do you have one for Ninja?

[@TheFinalEpic]

Thank you, I unfortunately do not :(

[@remowilliams8421]

@@TheFinalEpic It's all good brother I'm sure someone will come up with one.

This might be controversial but here goes, im a tank main, i dont play much of the DPS jobs but I always thought, in any game, that repeating animations make the class boring. As such I actually never rly liked how Samurai repeats the Iaijutsu skill with Tsubame Gaeshi. It felt uninspired to me. I dont know if Dawntrail rotation is better in terms of functionality but because you now have 2 different animations thanks to how Meikyo works I find Samurai to be visually much more appealing and interesting. Definitely the DPS job i'll level first.

[@TheFinalEpic]

Its a very fun job to play, hope you enjoy it :)

Is that a rotation helper in the upper left corner of your screen?
