FFXIV: Dawntrail Samurai 1 to 100 Leveling Skills Guide

Patch 7.5: Both Setsugekka buffed to 680 potency Patch 7.3: Most AoE buffed to only 40% damage falloff. Guren now has no damage falloff at all, massively buffing it. Patch 7.2: Several Single Target potencies up, with Kyuten and Guren being slightly nerfed in base potency. AoE Burst potency seemingly up with that skills with falloff have been buffed to only a 50% damage falloff. New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out! This guide seeks to teach new Samurai how to Samurai properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usage. Endgame is a long way away and there's lots to learn along the way. Start slow and work your way up one skill at a time! Then, graduate to more advanced guides.
