For the samurai change, did you lower the CD on Murasame?

If we're to move backwards to the older version of samurai, keep in mind why it was powerful back then. It machinegunned people with its dots because they removed the hit invuln timer. As far as I can tell, that's been fixed now, so all bleeds do is stop you from landing hits. Which would make old samurai a hit and run class at best.

As for the other classes, I haven't played enough this map yet to confidently critique all the notes, but

Hydromancer's changes seem justified, I remember being indefinitely cc'd from slows to knockbacks and it sucked a whole bunch.

Dragoon's changes should be fine, I only wonder how much velocity has been lowered on dash. The few dragoons I have fought used its original dash and I think it was soar (The skill that knocks you up) to escape fights without much issue. And jump alone was all they needed before to do the same. Personally, I'd say scrap dash, but now that its similar to the old skill charge it might be better.

Beastmaster: getting hit for 2 hearts plus no matter what is always frustrating, but once this class gets its new skill it should play a lot better, this change is essentially needed until then.

I didn't know Extortioner was getting speed like that, but from hearsay, that's probably a good change haha.
