Okay so... this guide is outdated, I will make a revised guide some time in the future but lets go over some of the things you should do instead.
1: You no longer use Tenka Goken on 2 targets, now we do it on 3+. This also applies to Tsubame Tenka Goken
2: Tsubame Higanbana is still useless, use Tsubame Midare instead and in a 2 target situation apply still use Higanbana but manually apply it to both targets, rather then Tsubame Higanbana
3: No more Kaiten, rip. Doesn't change much, just spam more Shinten
If any of this is wrong please do leave a reply and Ill edit this comment, also if I find out anything else before making my revised guide, Ill make sure to edit this comment further.

I'm really amazed by this guide. You described everything really well and in an easy way to understand. Whenever I had a question pop up on my head you answered it just in that moment.
10/10 would recommend

Just came back a couple weeks ago from being mia for almost 3 years and glad this guide exist I can readjust my rotations now a lot more cleanly.

[jaimelann]

As someone who is still super novice to FF14 as a whole but took a liking to Samurai, this guide is fantastic.

[LightsabreSMGN]

Leveling SAM right now, so I'm very happy this came out. Looking forward to being able to use the full kit

[Miha-iidy]

Watched your Monk and now Samurai guide. Both are very informative and put together exceptionally well.

[starrk_sama]

10 minutes in and my brain stopped working lol, great guide bro I'll comeback and watch it again once I get to level 90.

[earnshawheathcliff]

Love how you explain things. Thank you. Been my go to guides for whenever I pick up a new job.

[erichendricks]

You top all the other character bill videos. I have ever seen. You just earn my good sir a subscriber

[ARCWolf]

Samurai for me is like my "home" job. I'll go play other jobs and roles for weeks/months at a time but I always end up back at Samurai. It's just a comfy job, to me at least.

"The kinky gauge"
Truly the perfect job class for FFXIV!!!

[SorrenRaclaw]

I picked up Samurai late in Shadowbringers as something to do while waiting for Endwalker to come out. I fell in love with the job and leveled it to 80 in just a couple of weeks. It's become my favorite melee DPS, despite the fact that I cannot pronounce any of the ability names!

I really enjoyed your guide, but I wanted to know how you have the three seals/stickers reduced in size to sit neatly along your cast bar?

[slimfastsubaru]

watching this made me feel a lot better lol my higanbana keeps falling off for like 2 seconds at the odd window and like a quarter second at the 2 min window but i see it happens here too so i guess its just normal xD

[zh]

to maximize your dps you must shout your moves

[BleakeACE]

Im in level 83 and I am trying to learn this one for Dawntrail. Hopefully I can get better at it.

[lethaltoconcrete]

There are ways to keep things aligned without using fillers, which allows you to lose fewer Midares over the course of a fight and thus gain DPS, but this is definitely the way people should play to start. It's important to understand why you need to fillers to start with and become very familiar with the kit, or you're probably not going to be able to play ad hoc very effectively.

[raullobleon]

The only difficult part of this job: memorizing the f****g names of every attack.

[FusionVerseProduction]

Omg I like the old Sen layout much more 😲😲

[DEEP-WEB]

New here but I always figured Kaeshi: Higanbana was specifically for 2 targets that wouldn’t die quickly. Could be wrong

[nightcrawler]

Nice video I’m returning samurai so I had to catch up on skills
