Samurai Sword Pressure/Shoha Stacks

[SpeckledBurd]

I mean, they already touched Shoha enough, I think that any more tinkering with the skill will not change the main issue anyway. I'm against the idea of an extra stack since this would be completely different from the mentality they have about overcapping ressource. With Bard you cannot stack Bloodletter procs so you have to use it on cooldown. Machinist don't have an extra 20 to their gauge to prevent overcapping... Every class demands that you prevent overcapping by using the ability, not by giving you some extra gauge to avoid overcapping.
In fact, the current design makes samurai quite akward when it comes to this, looking at how we have to completely twist our basic rotation to use Tsubame on cooldown. The flaw in the design lies within Tsubame from the beginning.

Actually most jobs and gauges prevent overcapping, the cost and the maximum capacity of a gauge usually has an overhead of two times whatever the most expensive skill for it is. The only exception to that is Monk, which doesn't have any flexibility on using its gauge because its gauge is and always has been terribly designed. You're either full on Chakra and can use Chakra or you aren't full and can't use Chakra skills. Monk/Chakra is actually worse than Samurai/Meditate in this regard though because procs are random so we can't plan around it even in the worst case like having 2 meditation going into a Midare>Tsubame, you'll just cap on Chakra when you're already committed to a different oGCD and you'll just lose an additional random proc if you crit on the GCD after.

We've been complaining about it for years, but we've been complaining about a lot of things for years. They changed Shoha within a patch for you though so they're more likely to listen to Samurai.
