Obviously the devs like it how it is as it's been that way for 8 years. I'm just trying to give you a solution to your gameplay problem. Which is just move away from mobs that can melee hit you if you need to recover. Or if they can't hit you with melee swings don't cast utsu as you're just wasting shihei on them, which not sure what would be the point if this thread was about those mobs as they would clearly be very low level and you wouldn't have any difficulty with them at all.
