Is Starry Eyes useless? It costs the same Kenki as Hissatsu: Shinten but has 100 less potency. Would there be a situation were you'll actually use this skill over Merciful Eyes?

Taken from the Reddit Thread

Starry Eyes might possibly only cost 15 Kenki according to the Japanese tooltip + players experence. Based on the "5 Kenki=60 Potency" rule then Starry Eyes would be better to use over Hissatsu: Shinten.

So its a small potency gain to use Starry Eyes over Shinten assuming the tooltips are wrong, however just getting it to proc is the obstacle. Seems very situational as we only have 3 seconds to take damage from Third Eye. Think of it as a Reprisal (DRK ability) that we only have 3 seconds to proc DMG taken (vs. Parry any attack anytime). Pretty lame. I hope they adjust it to at least 5 seconds. Unless Melee Tanking Adds is going to be a thing, i can't see any real world usage for these sets of Eye Skills asside from the "Oh i have a prey icon above my head, better pop Third Eye, then self heal with Merciful once damage is taken".

15 Second CD on Third Eye, I guess SAM might be the Self Healing Melee kings?

Starry's eye actual cost is 15 kenki (not 25 as stated on gamer escape picture). It is an efficient attack but it is situational.
