As someone that never touched SAM but enjoy your videos and your sense of humor, I can say that I managed to understand absolutely nothing you said for almost 20 minutes, great video.
Tbh you're the go to for guides on playing a class at least for me. The way your video is structured makes it easy for a smoothbrain like me to understand. If you ever make a new 90 monk guide you bet imma go there immediately, they changed the job so much in EW that I dont know how to do anything right lol.
Dude, I've watched all your videos even for the jobs i dont main. Imo, you have the most easily digestable and informative job guides out there. I always recommend your channel to new players.
"... which is how Tsubami-gaeshi always worked." Me: huh? If I remember correctly it-- "... now that your Iaijutsu casts are twice as big as they--I mean, this is how they always were." Me: ah. Yes, this is how it always worked. Thanks for the video!
1:41 had me goddamn weak. Thank you for the monthly edutainment dopamine hit Chair, with this guide I will now proceed to still not play Samurai, but tell myself that I'd probably be a decent one if I tried
Oh hell yes, the long awaited round 2 Sefiously though, I just started playing FFXIV about two months ago and the old job guides were super helpful and highly entertaining. Looking forward to the updated versions!
Wait how? 2 months and you were already able not only to understand but also make use of a lvl 80 guide? It took me 2 years I mean I know I'm slow but am I really this slow?
@@thefailers2597 ok so maybe it's more like 3 months and I barely understood them but gotta start somewhere lol Still helpful to give me an idea of what to do as a total newbie to mmos on my main job so far (lvl 69 paladin - nice) and different roles I guess the most helpful thing I learned was how to start thinking about the game from someone who has done a lot more thinking about it than I have
@@houserspeed I'm really slow so it just shock me when I see that people don't need years to do things, well, hope you enjoy the game. I'll now go to corrode my soul on lol
Is there any job that could possibly match the DPS of Samurai? Let alone surpass its parse. And I'm not talking about a Samurai with both Fuka (Mind of the Samurai) and Fugetsu (Rush of Battle), boosting attack damage and speed by 13%. I'm not talking about Samurai with Hissatsu (Hidden Technique): Kaiten (Turn the Heavens) boosted MidareSetsugekka (Chaos Slash- Snow, Moon, Flowers) either, and this skill is only usable by one who has mastered the peerless concentration of the warrior's state of mind, doing a total of 990 potency. Hell, I'm not even talking about a combo using Hissatsu: Kaiten boosted Higanbana (Mourning Flowers), placing a DoT of 1200 potency, using Meikyo Shisui (Standing Water, Perfect Mirror Reflection) to instantly deliver a Kaiten boosted MidareSetsugekka and finishing with Hissatsu: Guren (Crimson Lotus), dealing a total of nearly 2690 potency in the space of a couple of seconds. No, I'm talking about Samurai possessing the secret technique Hissatsu: Senei (Thousand Blades), a more powerful version of Hissatsu: Guren that does 800 potency to a single foe, and who has mastered Tsubame-gaeshi, the technique of the REGEND Sasaki Koijiro, enabling him to perform Kaeshi (Reversal) forms of his most powerful abilities, which allows him to unleash his ultimate combo of Kaiten: Higanbana, followed by Hissatsu: Senei in the space between his next move Kaiten:MidareSetsugekka, and finally Tsubame-Gaeshi unleashes Kaeshi:MidareSetsugekka dealing 990 immediately, followed by the destructive power of Ogi Namikiri (Secret Wave Slash) dealing an additional 1200, activated by the Ikishoten (Bookstore to go) stance, and Kaeshi:Namakiri for yet another 1200 potency. Samurai has just done 6380 POTENCY in the LITERAL BLINK of an EYE.
I did not expect this to come out so early following the expansion, but goddamn do I appreciate it. The “ makes your damage damager” line had me dying.
You know, even though you didn't pronounce all the japanese names exactly correct, you did a MUCH better job than I was expecting. That is to say, I'm disappointed you didn't meme them as hard as you did in your first sam video. But it's okay son, I still love you.
I believe Mr. Malformed Footrest forgot to mention that there is only one valid visual novel to download to increase your SAM skill level: the Muv-Luv trilogy. It involves samurai, mecha, samurai _in_ mecha, the spirit of noble sacrifice (of uptime) and is also what the author of Attack on Titan -heavily ripped off- was inspired by.
@@dorkiecookie Whenever I see the count of Higanbanas on the boss and the amount of Samurai in the party not being equal, I just assume one of the Samurai is afk. Because that's the only time Higanbana shouldn't be up.
@@skeletonwar4445 I mean at the end of a boss fight, there may not be enough time left. There's also some bosses in old synced down content. I sometimes see Higanbana at 60 seconds when a boss has like 5% HP left. But yeah, I'm going out of my way to play devil's advocate. What you're saying is right in any serious endgame content, at least for most of the fight. A lot of freestyle PUG samurai let Higanbana lapse for way too long...
Watching this video for the fist time made me consider trying out samurai. Never got around to even finishing the first quest for sam before. Then I watched it again when I understood what the abilities were. Then one last time when I needed some pointers for optimisation. So far I think this is a pretty good guide.
And this begins the absolute shitshow that is Misshapen Chair class guides, and I will be here for all of them since they are just soooooo goooood. Here's hoping future patches don't completely invalidate these guides coz that would suck.
I thought the only positional requirement for Gekko and Kasha was extra kenki, but obviously it was always extra damage. Thankyou wonkey chair, you have made my mediocre samurai gameplay a little bit more mediocre.
Please continue to point out these no-life spreadsheet nerds citing 0.2 second optimizations. I had someone in my static pull a literal bottom 1% parse according to FF logs and the rest of us were laughably low and we still comfortably killed the Ex Trials. Not saying those are on par with super duper complicated Savage fights, but past a certain point (and that point is far lower than people think) you're just screaming at other nerds trying to hit a high score on a parsing website and they cease to play the same game as the rest of us. Tired of so many (serious, non-meme) job tier lists and people in the top 5% of the game screaming on Twitch or TH-cam about optimization, parses, or comps - it's bleeding into my actual in-game experience more and more and I hate it. Grats, you cleared TEA and got a shiny weapon. That should be enough without telling everyone else how to play the game and getting butthurt when all raid CDs don't magically align perfectly all according to your spreadsheet you plotted out 300 GCDs in advance with 100% uptime.
WeskAlber actually has a video talking about this. Essentially, it's the try-hards who think it's everyone's fault but their own that they're not World First material that obsess over meta and shit. The actual great players will play a job because they're comfortable with it. It's a cool bit of theorycrafting, but obsessing over it is the mark of a player deflecting their own lack of achievement.
@@rlagay yeah playing something you enjoy and are comfortable with is always always preferable imo. just because another class pulls a bit more damage doesn't mean you HAVE to play it. this game is balanced fucking incredibly well compared to the vast majority of mmo's. it's fine to play whatever you enjoy as long as you're comfortable with it
I am constantly running into people who are telling me that my opinions about this game are wrong and the sources that they cite are meta bullshit and optimization related
@@IosLocarth It is all bs. I believe some group cleared an ultimate with only tanks. This game rewards skill over anything else, as I will play PLD (the lowest tank dps) and STILL overtake damage of meta-dps'ers because they cant do mechanics for s**t. I can even play dancer and still whip the ass of a SAM in personal damage that can't follow the mechanics of a raid. Ignore those idiots.
Hello Mr. Chair, I'd like to express my thanks for actually making the concept of "filler GCDs" and usage of Hagakure actually understandable to a normal fucking person. I've read and watched so many guides and all they do is spout bullshit numbers about alignment without actually explaining *why* we do filler in a way that a grass-touching non-turbonerd would understand. I actually didn't watch this video at first since I know this was made before the great Kaiten massacre. I should have believed in you Mr. Chair. Thanks a lot. Now I can finally roleplay as a proper weeaboo.
I just got Samurai to 90. Definitely my favorite melee dps currently. One issue I've got is that I overcap on Kenki a bit fast, and have to practically spam Shinten. It feels like there's something the class just really needs for Kenki aside from that. Maybe something that buffs your next attack for 25 guage, so I can use it before every Iaijutsu. That would make the class so much better.
for the longest time looking at your example opener my brain was melting. all i could think was " the TF is he weaving a second meikyo shisui like 6 gcds later" before realizing it gains a second stack
Rip kaiten maybe we’ll get it back one day and they’ll change shoha to a single button. I went edgy potato and am slowly relearning the ways to weeb again.
"If you find a way to press Ikishoten and miss, please let me know" Me: -sweats cuz I attempted to practice on my FC's leve 90 practice dummy when I'm level 80-
Before this video: 0 dps, no facial hair, no girlfriend, 1.0 GPA, plays Raid: shadow legends, tattoo that says "do not revive", phd in theology After this video: Grey dps, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, 0 to 60 in 1 second, 989 horsepower, Olympic gold medal in synchronised swimming, 360 pop shove-it with no hands Thanks *poorly made seat,* you've changed my life
Wait I can buy a cover for my dakimakura... Misshapen Chair why have you not told me this sooner.. you know why we are here and you have been holding back on us. What else can you teach me Senpai.
i feel you. i dont like the people in the balance either. the mods are jackass generally hated by those in their server *cough bongo cat *cough for hunt sniping *cough to the point where they move server which is a blessing to us all. I do however like the info like you so i can understand putting up with the cesspool every now and then for info
i feel like third eye would have been more interesting to play around if it gave you a stack of meditation instead of just kenki. It just feels kinda boring and unnecessary to execute now. You already build kenki absurdly fast and while 10% mitigation is nice, its hardly noticeable as healers routinely overheal any party-wide damage.
It felt better when you could still use Hissatsu: Seigan. I know it's still technically the same-ish DPS increase as before, but I feel pretty sour about losing that cool animation. Having to look at my kenki gauge to check if third-eye procced feels a lot worse than seeing the eyes-open buff pop up.
@@frickengamer149 Agreed. At the end of the day, you just want to know you've been rewarded for skilled play. Heck, I'd even be happy with a meaningless but noticable particle or sound effect that triggers if 3rd eye is hit.
If it gave meditation it would be bonkers OP. It's already pretty good. 10 kenki is 108 potency on single target, which is quite a lot considering third eye has only 10s cooldown. Considering that no other dps job gets any dps increase from using mitigation I don't think we can really complain.
I think the way that the balance explains filler windows is done very poorly. TLDR: After Odd Number Oga Namakiri use: 1 yenpi After Even Number Oga Namakiris: 2 yenpi OR yukikaze hagakure (or 1 yenpi + Kasha+Gekko combo before Meiykou) How to reapply higanbana on downtime: Kasha + Yukikaze combo -> Meikyou -> Gekko -> Midare -> Kaeshi Midare -> Gekko -> Higanbana -> Gekko. ezmode: for Odd number you can also do Kasha+Gekko combo -> Meikyou -> Gekko instead of doing the 1 GCD enpi filler, but its like a 0.4% potency loss Otherwise you just count your GCDs and keep track of how many you lost and get them back during the higanbana application or do the tsubame on the next midare.
Thank you for the guide. Your sense of humor is hilarious and the information really helped me learn SAM. Can't wait for your future content! "Makes you do damage damager" fucking slayed me.
And few days later, i am having so much fun with this class, even managed to try out kaiten before 6.1, thanks for showing me this class and teaching the basics - as a 40 yo working casual - dps classes always scared me off, looking way too complicated, now i can enjoy it at a medicore level. Thank you
I feel like I'm being gaslit sometimes. You did used to generate more Kenki from Positionals, right? I thought he was joking. But I can't find proof... Did I fall into the Berenstein Bears universe? Edit: Great, I just realized the Meikyo Shisui triangle is upside down from the Sen Gauge, but that's always been like that... right?!
SAM had positionals. It's not on the tooltip of the weaponskills themselves though iirc. It's on a Trait. This part I'm not sure about though. Now they changed it so you get Kenki regardless of position and the positionals are inherent to the skills, and adds Potency instead. Source: Samurai main since Stormblood to Shadowbringers.
I don't have or do any of the following but I do like vergil from devil may cry Also the amount of malice in his voice after every "this is how it has always worked" just screams I didn't read tooltips for the first week of launch
This is great, I've been recently working on my Sam and a lot of this is true. Also Just playing Sam is easier compared to others, EI. my main is a blackmage
This is brilliant Small thing I noticed,16:30 Hissatsu: Guren is significantly better than Hissatsu: Senei on 3+ targets. Its not a gain on 2, but you mention 2+ ;p
As someone that never touched SAM but enjoy your videos and your sense of humor, I can say that I managed to understand absolutely nothing you said for almost 20 minutes, great video.
This is what I wake up for every morning. 🎉
Chair is funny as always. I'm gonna relisted to some of his stuff on NIN, smn, and DNC as I do my roulette tonight.

You're how I fell in love with ninja. You deserve a lot of credit.
I appreciate your use of “previous expansion” because as we all know, Shadowbringer is a Dark Knight ability
I actually lied. I used the phrase "practically 0 kenki" but the correct phrase I should have used is "like 10 kenki"
Why would you lie to us 😭😭
This will be on the test
He went in so hard on the weeb hate it distracted him and he finally made a mistake. I didn't think it was possible.
"Not even the Japanese understand kanji"
As a Japanese myself, I can confirm that this is true
Petition to have "successfully land ikishoten" mean that you don't get Ogi Namikiri if you overflow Kenki after using it.
woah! calm down satan
"... which is how Tsubami-gaeshi always worked."
Me: huh? If I remember correctly it--
"... now that your Iaijutsu casts are twice as big as they--I mean, this is how they always were."
Me: ah. Yes, this is how it always worked.

After Even Number Oga Namakiris: 2 yenpi OR yukikaze hagakure (or 1 yenpi + Kasha+Gekko combo before Meiykou)
How to reapply higanbana on downtime: Kasha + Yukikaze combo -> Meikyou -> Gekko -> Midare -> Kaeshi Midare -> Gekko -> Higanbana -> Gekko.
ezmode: for Odd number you can also do Kasha+Gekko combo -> Meikyou -> Gekko instead of doing the 1 GCD enpi filler, but its like a 0.4% potency loss
Otherwise you just count your GCDs and keep track of how many you lost and get them back during the higanbana application or do the tsubame on the next midare.
This video is chock full of culture.
Naming these skills so smooth I didnt need to butter my sandwich
Just in time for when I was able to FINALLY consistently get into the game in order to level and play SAM again (though my glam is shit)
ah yes, the new ranged caster. Samurai
Loved this! Great intro! Great weeb thrashing! Also, a good guide for SAMs!
Thank you for the guide. Your sense of humor is hilarious and the information really helped me learn SAM. Can't wait for your future content!
"Makes you do damage damager" fucking slayed me.
It begins again
Why does the balance hat this man? lmao
Hey, I too know all the names of the samurai buttons! Love your vids btw
Ahh wonderful video as always
Im too distracted by the dungeon run with the Eukrasian Diagnosis spamming Sage who doesnt have Kardia on the tank to learn anything ;-;
Oh, I thought I was the only one who didn't like his hotbars, but I'm too lazy to think about how it would be more comfortable so... Nice :D
"He, is me." - Yeah I felt that.
Somehow I can't believe you people can actually follow all of this. This is insane.
I got the opener, but after that, I'm lucky if I line my burst window up with anything.
Same. Got the perfect opener then I need one messup or downtime boss mechanic to completely go ape brain
lets goooo massive w
and by w i mean weeb
Yes you are absolutely right. Ninja is a Physical Ranged DPS
Wow, this video made me realize my warrior is just faceroll :)
And few days later, i am having so much fun with this class, even managed to try out kaiten before 6.1, thanks for showing me this class and teaching the basics - as a 40 yo working casual - dps classes always scared me off, looking way too complicated, now i can enjoy it at a medicore level. Thank you
I played tank up to 60, and now I’m having a crisis of whether to play the job with my name on it lmao
This caster lookin lit. Might try it instead of summoner
I feel like I'm being gaslit sometimes. You did used to generate more Kenki from Positionals, right? I thought he was joking. But I can't find proof... Did I fall into the Berenstein Bears universe?
Edit: Great, I just realized the Meikyo Shisui triangle is upside down from the Sen Gauge, but that's always been like that... right?!
me when i swear i’ve never seen positionals on the tooltips lol
It's true, but when you unlock the passive skill at lv 62 that generates 5 Kenki every time you use a GCD it's hard to notice.
I can confirm that Gecko and Kasha would generate 5 Kenki on hit, and 5 *extra* Kenki when you successfully landed the positional.
SAM had positionals. It's not on the tooltip of the weaponskills themselves though iirc. It's on a Trait. This part I'm not sure about though. Now they changed it so you get Kenki regardless of position and the positionals are inherent to the skills, and adds Potency instead.
Source: Samurai main since Stormblood to Shadowbringers.
And yes. Meikyo Shisui has always been upside down.
holy shit they added samurai to this game???
It's been 5 years.
Lmfao you're my favourite FF14 creator. Such good work bro
1:16 - This is VERY true...
My brain just exploded 🤯💥
I don't have or do any of the following but I do like vergil from devil may cry
Also the amount of malice in his voice after every "this is how it has always worked" just screams I didn't read tooltips for the first week of launch
Wew that hotbar setup looks so fucked up to me 😅
Great vid as usual dude
samurai is the weebest anime job that it even has a filler arc
And most important read vagabond, drifiters, blade of imortal XDA
This is great, I've been recently working on my Sam and a lot of this is true. Also Just playing Sam is easier compared to others, EI. my main is a blackmage
Thank god, I can only count to four.
But misshapen chair, I main sage, where can I find enjoyment in such a video as this one?
This is brilliant
Small thing I noticed,16:30 Hissatsu: Guren is significantly better than Hissatsu: Senei on 3+ targets. Its not a gain on 2, but you mention 2+ ;p
Nice video bro, if possible can you do a part 2 on this and explain the gear and material required for SAM? You're awesome!
