Hello fellow players, and welcome to my SAM disciples.
Today is a great day, it is the day where all SAMs get access to a door many have considered unreachable.
Today you will learn how to perfectly execute the rotation our favorite theorycrafters managed to build, while not having to spend near as much time as a normal practice would take you.You were maybe wondering who all those top FFlogs SAMs managed to rock those high numbers, and how some of your friends could hit 95+ percentile while you struggled in the gray to green parses even when putting your very soul into it.
Fear no more.
I, as the greatest sensei of this generation, have come across a solution that would improve your performances by atleast 60%, while reducing the skill needed to perform by the same amount.
Let me present to you the PERFECT SAMURAI MACRO ROTATION.
As you may know, samurai works on a loop rotation that consists of a serie of 28 to 30 GCD (depending on skillspeed) repeating again and again in order to keep your Tsubame-Gaeshi on cooldown with the least amount (preferably 0) of drift.
This make us able to work on 3 macros splitting the 3 different rotation phases : Cooldown phase, Filler Phase, and Burst phase.
The opener is also provided in a macro but isn't considered as part of the loop since it's only executed once.
Note that the filler gcds (not macro) can be skipped due to the extra miliseconds waiting between GCDs that would render a 2-3gcd filler useless.
The first macro would be then the following :

Into

From there, you would essentially rotate the second and third macro unless a reopener is required (Exemple Shiva phase 3)
Those macro are made for a Midare first opener, this opener being the best for the current tier, but a Higanbana first macro can also be made with some changes.
As you can see on this clip, I can keep my rotation going while perfecting my other samurai skills at the same time, making my time perfectly distributed between becoming even stronger, while also overperforming.

In this time of quarantine, you could also use this time to perfect other skills you'd want to learn.
Note :
These macros do not take into account kenki nor meditation stacks management, you should press Senei, Shinten and Shoha whenever they are ready, so keep an eye on your monitor every 45 to 60 seconds
DISCLAIMER
These macros won't make you automated, you'd still have to position yourself for positionnal GCDs or for mechanics, but gives you more time to think about where you want to go instead of having to think about your rotation, making you the UNKILLABLE SAMURAI. You'll be able to brag about rocking insane numbers while playing the bosses perfectly and mock that Dragoon laying in his natural habitat (being the ground)
You will also NOT rank 1 with this guide, that'd require the use of additional situational macros coming with experience such as

I'd recommand focusing on the base ones for now until you become one with them.
As you can see on the following screenshots, it took me some time to master them and play the tier with them but now I'm on my way to perfection

UPDATE : Improved macro resulting in this log

Stay strong Samurais, do not let a failure dictate your future.
Remember that a blade is a benediction needed in a world where what is fastened cannot be fulfilled.
