261 potency per fish then?

It's the same problem though. That second stack would have that same potency and people will turn to third party tools to optimize. I agree Sam has issues with the rotation being on a strict loop that does feel auto-pilot (and feels worse if it drifts), but I don't feel fishing for server tick procs with your downtime tool is the fix or great design.

I'm not sure what the fix is myself, I'd tie Shoha to Iaijutsu and Tsubama alone, leave Meditate as is (you can still fish for 128 if you want) and give Tsubame an 8 sec leniency, but then perhaps we could get a functional Hagakure back and a small buff to Seigan.
