I think sam is going to be fairly complicated actually. Trying to figure out maximum potency per gcd is interesting. There's the question of is it better to do a yaten > Enbi > gyoten combo or just continue to save for shinten. The yaten combo is more efficient on keniki but also doesn't build any sen. In terms of sen building midare seems to be always better than haganbana, but yukikaze is the lower potency combo and doesn't need to be refreshed as fast as you can get through the whole rotation of 3 combos. So maybe it's best to do all 3, midare, one combo, hagan, and get all 3 again for midare. Now the problem though is it's a 60 second dot and we don't want to clip it. And then there's meditate to throw into the mix which shuts off auto attack. Certainly complicated but I like that.
