5.x Samurai Request: Stacks of Meditation in Job Gauge + Sound

[Sam_Nexuz]

Dear Yoshi P and Dev combat team:

First of all I would like to thank Shoha's rework for a skill with such beautiful animation and now that we can use it more often.

There are times when the 3rd stack of mediation is acquired in Iaijutsu just before Tsubame-gaeshi and we have a little window of about 0.85 sec to use Shoha in between Iaijutsu and Tsubame-gaeshi and sometimes in the heat of battle there is a risk of over capping your stacks.

Request: Adding Stacks of Meditation to the SAM gauge. It could look something like the SCH's Aetherflow Gauge on Simple Mode or 3 red spheres in between the Sen's in Sen Gauge and include a sound when it reaches 3 stacks like BRD's Apex Arrow when the gauge reaches 100%.

I believe this would greatly facilitate tracking the Stacks of Meditation which would help avoid the loss of procs by over capping which would make Shoha a more consistent skill to use.

Attentively Samiru Falkhort.

UPDATE :

Thanks to everyone who supported and thank you very much Yoshi P and Dev combat team for accepting our feedback sooner than I imagined.

Love you guys<3

"Regarding samurai, we received feedback that Meditation stacks were hard to keep track of, so Meditation stacks will now be displayed on the job gauge."

Very good idea! I sometimes forget about that stack during Tsubame and lose a proc, this addition would help me so much!

May the winds of the east sharpen your blade and bless this suggestion.

i think, this is good ideia its more easier to track, but i think they gonna put this prob on nex xpac i may u walk in way of bushido

Tbh I'd rather prefer if they could allow Tsubame to be used maybe one or two GCD after a Iaijutsu. You could delay it, it would solve the rotation and you would have time to use Shoha. But yeah, if they don't want to do that, a new element in the job gauge could be nice, at least to give us an easier way to anticipate for that split second where we have to use Shoha.

I posted something similar after the change was first implemented. Would love to have an indicator on the job gauge to make it easier to track.

People still talking about that 400 potency skill ?
