Title : Samurai Retool (Lite)
----------------------------------------
The Samurai of Tsunami have spent several years working with their
elemental techniques. As a result of their focus and training they have
learned to better incorporate their elemental-techniques into their skill
repertoire...

I have made some CHANGES related to Samurai. Let me first acknowledge that
they are one of the STRONGEST melee classes in the game and so the goal of
the changes was not to increase them as-much-as imbed their elemental
attunement into their core “rotation”.


This will likely have some effect n “balance” but hopefully REWARD
those who focus on the elements.

-=Attunement=-

PREVIOUSLY when you gain an elemental influence you must always change
your style to that form to gain the attunement. This meant if you were
influenced to “fire” you would have to exit and re-style to fire to
gain the attunement.


NOW if you are in the “style” of your influence you automatically gain
the attunement.

-=Elemental Strikes=-
PREVIOUSLY you had a 100% chance to proc elemental strikes against your
foe but only while in hitsu-do/fire only.

NOW you have a significant (but not 100%) chance to proc elemental strikes
against your foe in ALL forms. So you can use all your forms and still
gain elemental benefits.

-=Critical=-
PREVIOUSLY the skill “critical” would give you 0 attacks in
hitsu-do/fire style.

NOW “critical” gives you 0 attacks in ALL forms (it is a single
perfect strike)but will proc your elemental attunement 100% of the time.

-=Sweep=-
PREVIOUSLY the skill “sweep” would give you 0 attacks in all forms.

NOW “sweep” gives you 0 attacks in all forms but will proc your
elemental attunement 100% of the time vs all foes hit (the amount of
damage is somewhat reduced as it’s a room attack).


-=Kukan-Do=-
PREVIOUSLY this skill has a trickle of healing that has been largely
invalidated by rest.

NOW this skill still gives a trickle of healing BUT ALSO will greatly
reduce the rate you drop your “center”. This mostly just means as you
style-swap the brief time you are in Kukan-Do will keep your center up a
bit better. You can also idle in this form and not have to re-center.
