Today I'm coming at you with a discussion on the 2.08 GCD Speed Smooth CLEAN Loop Samurai in FFXIV Patch 7.05. Personally, I feel this is the easiest way to play the job at a strong level, where beginner and intermediate Samurai players will be able to more easily identify whether they're doing their rotation correctly or not.

I used this configuration for all my current Savage Clears / Logs, which can be found here: https://www.fflogs.com/character/id/3385537

Here's a pinned post illustrating the basic idea and loop for this build: https://imgur.com/PITc8pp

Here's a link to the Skillspeed Tiers for Samurai players, including their Fuka buff: https://imgur.com/NutBgLu

Here's an infographic that dives into a bit more detail on how to do the 2.08 GCD Speed Opener / Cooldown / Odd Minute Burst / Even Minute Burst: https://i.imgur.com/HMbcRnk.png

And of course, if you want to see me play Samurai LIVE, come by my Twitch channel @ https://www.twitch.tv/fahros

Let's work together in trying to push to top 1% performance! I'll be playing 2.14/adhoc again soon and making content on that as well.

If this video helps improve even one person's Samurai damage output, then it's a win in my book! If you have any questions or comments, be sure to leave them below, and I'll try to help wherever I can.

Until next time, cheers.
