They may as well simply remove kenki as one of our meters. They could yank the kenki cost off of our mobility tools to function like Reaper, as currently they are just a damage loss. They could yank the kenki cost off of Senei and Guren since they already are on a 2 minute cooldown. Ikkishoten could just be removed to toss the 2 minute cooldown on Ogi Namakiri. Shinten could get a potency buff, put on a cooldown, and a new animation to feel actually feel good.

It reminds me of what happened in Shadowbringers to AST. They took away the card toolkit and reduced every card to just being Balance cards, as a result the class fell apart in both feel and numbers and needed lots of buffing. Since then it has been potency creep to the point that it heals harder and for cheaper then WHM, while still lacking what made the class so engaging in the first place.
