A kenki retrospect: Another cry to please revert Samurai 6.1 changes

[Shurrikhan]

Writing this, I pine for Stormblood era Samurai. Stormblood Samurai had the most dynamic gauge (not cards! gauge) to optimize. I would have loved to see the Samurai that brought that forward... and without Tsubame-Gaeshi.

I actually feel like a single-charge Tsubame-Gaeshi was great. It gave us a whole lot more reason to manage our rhythm.

For my part, I'd just like to see us revert the 6.1 changes and then, and instead...

Offer Slight QoL:

• Make it impossible to double-press Kaiten (for those players with high packet-loss who can end up thereby double-queuing it),
• Build the AoE component of Shoha 2 into Shoha, in the style of Guren's wide linear AoE. I.e., Shoha just gets additional AoE damage. Shoha 2 trimmed.
• Make it so when Senei is not attached to your bar, it instead acts as conditional skill, per a trait to Guren. "When no further enemies are detected in the line of attack of Hissatsu: Guren, you will instead use Senei, an single-target skill of higher potency." Senei (as a separate button) can therefore be trimmed, through even then you can influence which is cast even in multi-target through your positioning.
• Make Fuko an option over Fuga, not a requirement. Have the Fuga Mastery trait buff Fuga to do all that Fuko does. Also, move this to earlier in the leveling progression to make that (sacrifice range for not needing a target) option accessible earlier.

Bring back more minute-to-minute events, instead of giving us 100-second lulls between 20-second bursts:

• Return Ikishoten to a one-minute cooldown. Return Senei and Guren to 50-Kenki spenders.
• Trim the second charge off Tsubame Gaeshi. Replace the trait with Art of War, which causes Yaten and Gyoten to share 3 charges, each recharging over 5 seconds, and causes Iaijutsu to grant Enhanced Enpi. Additionally, adjust Tsubame-Gaeshi itself to be just a bit more forgiving than the Shadowbringers version:

• Button-consolidate TG and Iaijutsu whenever you've not added TG to your hotbars. Have the cooldown of Tsubame-Gaeshi appear, radially, over Iaijutsu. Within 5 seconds of using Iaijutsu, you can use Tsubame-Gaeshi regardless of intervening GCDs, unless you have/generate new Sen (at which point Iaijutsu replaces it again).
• If you do add TG to your hotbars, they do not hotswap over each other. You can still use TG for 5 seconds after using an Iaijutsu, and, as they are separate buttons, gaining Sen cannot block you from using it.

Final Flavor Notes:

• To compensate for every other TG now falling outside of raid buffs, buff Shoha slightly.
• Now that Meditation stacks are worth that bit more, we can safely buff Hagakure from 10 to 15 Kenki per Sen while still having it be a notable loss (though no longer so significant as to have zero value even in non-optimal situations).
