Please buff Merciful Eyes

Merciful Eyes is an oGCD on not a 15s cooldown but a 1~15s cooldown. It can be used frequently and costs you a Seigan, maybe sometimes.

C.f. Vercure, which no competent RDM would use on themselves in a standard party setting except to Dualcast at a phase change and which costs a minimum of a Jolt II in solo, which deals 377 potency and generates 6 mana. This is equivalent to SAM losing a 334 potency attack and whatever the kenki equivalent of 6 mana is.

Vercure's potency is 455, so if you want to increase the potency of Merciful Eyes to 400, let's talk about where you think SAM should lose an extra 74 potency for each Merciful Eyes use. This is the minimum additional potency SAM needs to lose per Merciful Eyes use--it should probably cost a bit more because Merciful Eyes does not necessarily cost a Seigan always.

Maths:

Jolt II: 290 potency
Maim and Mend II: Attacks and heals 1.3x potency
Jinpu: Attacks deal 1.13x potency
Base potency or an equivalent attack on SAM: 290 * 1.3 / 1.13 ≈ 334

Vercure: 350 potency
Maim and Mend II: Attacks and heals 1.3x potency
Base potency of an equivalent heal on SAM: 350 * 1.3 = 455

Seigan potency: 220
Proportional base attack potency cost for a 400 potency heal: 400 / 455 * 334 ≈ 294
(These last two lines are entirely within the context of SAM base potencies,
so Jinpu is not needed in the calculation)

Actually that's pretty easy to do on Samurai, all you'd have to do is give Merciful eyes a Kenki cost. If Merciful Eyes cost 5 kenki, you'd get almost exactly to 74 damage potency lost assuming the same Kenki to Potency efficiency of a Seigen.

That sounds fair.
