It's not like that though, tendo only happens during your burst windows. Otherwise we get the original animations. It's a cool change that reflects our current state of potency and a visual indication of buff windows. Currently samurai just flows out high potency abilities and you can't really tell the difference between burst and normal aside from how fast it all comes out, now there will be a big visual contrast between burst and filler.

Zanshin justifies the 50 kenki that ikishoten gives and removes the drift factor between senei and ikishoten uses on top of ensuring less shinten spam. It is more interplay between abilities. Something players like you have been asking for, now it happens and you don't like it for some reason?

Who was using shoha stacks explicitly on single target? If shoha came up during an AoE pull and you weren't using shoha 2 you are trolling the group. AoE is how to make dungeon runs fast. Boss fights are not the important part of dungeons from an optimization perspective. Holding cooldowns for bosses or stacking power for bosses is how you get really slow dungeon runs. Like I said before, the vast majority of samurai players are celebrating this change and it is a good thing because they changed it from a radial AoE to a linear AoE. I personally don't like the linear AoE in samurai, but it's whatever at least it requires positioning and consideration. At least it fits the game and goes along with enpi and guren thematically. Did you just take shoha 2 off your bar or something?
