I'm talking about damage wise which is usually more heavy on other Melee DPS Jobs.

5 Kenki is 60 potency of damage loss on single target, pretty much directly. You have to use an extra ogcd every 5 "missed" positional attacks to gain the damage, but it's still a direct loss of damage. This assumes it is used on the lowest common denominator in terms of damage, because generally you will be saving kenki for the more important abilities anyway so the "extra" kenki you miss out on would be for the basic kenki spender. In actual fact, it could also be more than that depending on whether it delays use of more important kenki abilities (it never should, but it could if you do it wrong enough).
