I feel like this is a bug, as I expect the new samurai ability Konzen-Ittai to function like the dancer's Wild Flourish. If I weaponskill too quickly after using Konzen-Ittai, no skillchain occurs and the effect of Konzen-Ittai is lost as subsequent weaponskills also don't trigger the correct skillchain (for example, doing Konzen-Ittai, Sekanoki, then 2x Tachi: Kasha does not result in any light skillchain). I find myself having to wait for the animation of it to end, before a skillchain occurs with the next weaponskill. I don't think this behavior is normal.
