Bushido - The Way Of The Samurai (A Guide) V. 2.0

Using SAM for Kin why? WAR is best.

Probably because it's content that is so easy now, that fun factor is more important than min maxing for efficiency, so everyone will use whatever job that provide most fun for each person.

I would argue BLU is way better than WAR, because you can aoe faster and it's where you can save more time than on boss itself and for boss specifically MNK is probably the best by far because it reduces time where Kin absorbs physical damage.

Yeah tried DRK and SAM and did more damage with SAM. Rotated Mumei,Fudo and Shoha to help with wall.

WAR was saved for KI2 for the party buffs and MS.

SAM sucks for it because often skillchaining risks healing and Fudo is SAM's best WS. I'd go MNK Raging Fists before going SAM personally.

You can time the skillchains reliably especially if solo.
Mumei is best.
But ya I agree just go mnk and use whatever.
You can't beat penance and the tp mitigation of mnk.
Not to mention how smooth the ride is with all the hp.

Well, I don't like playing Mnk and I like playing Sam, so there is that.


That makes sense. When we tried it, it was before Kusanagi and the attempt was 1KI with Sam if I remember right.

Just spam impulse drive

I thought about that. I reckon I'd hit quite a lower average than SB though (ignoring frequency but that's messed up by use of JAs). MS gets me out of the occasional mess too! MNK HP is a decent safety net.

I initially planned to use MNK for farming it but ended up sticking with WAR to AoE/conal mobs down. I dread to think how many I have 2boxed now, probably 500 with only one body to show.

Ws frequency would favor sam impulse over i assume fencer sb war, overall its whatever and mnk is indeed likely best on the fight itself just for sb limiting tp moves

Mnk can also aoe pretty effortlessly with cataclysm

My cataclysm is always ***, like 8k and idk why... I gave up on it. This is 5/5 Nyame and Ambu staff or the other good one (idr which, malig?). Chango takes 2 WS to kill, but Sonic Thrust one shots.
