not really double sword, is sword and scabbard and it's goal is to make Guren something you use while in middle of an AoE situation while Seinen (the name of the skill) will be used against mono target. leading to an increase of damage (whatever is his potency) against boss.
for the pro:
- i see a more smoother cycle with the removal of hagakure, giving us more iajutsu... making us focusing on kenki usage and use iajutsu when and how we want. instead to burn our sen for get extra damage from shinten spam.
- a better burst, tsubame-gaeshi will give us an insane burst, while used with kenki skill we can get some very potent burst that we was lacking in a sort.
- no more tp for the aoe and refresh of jinpu and shifu from the aoe combo.... honestly it's very very very strong.
- up of shifu and jinpu we have only 3% of difference in attack speed buff than with ninja and 8% for a monk in 4 gl stack and we still hit like a truck... i means it really good. it's not an enormous change, but it still there we get more faster and stronger even if it's 2%. it can make the difference...
- and one of the best pro, our job that was already really good didn't change for something weirder... no... where with the monk of SB i was unhappy by the little change it was because the jobs was very old and the change wasn't extraordinary. but here we have a jobs that is solid in his rotation and we get more tool for make it better...

the loose.... more the replacement... of hagakure is a welcome change because our signature move, that was even shown in the trailer of SB, is the iajutsu not the kenki... kenki is something here for give us something to do between gcd skill.... not the signature move of our job. and when hagakure was making our signature move less potent than something normally used between gcd skill it was a trouble.
some think it was skill to make it work, yes, it was skill to make it work... but do it was them intention to have hagakure kill midare setsugekka dps, that something we can wonder.... even if they technically answer us by the change of shb. no?
