Personally, I'd most like to see the tick rate doubled but tick value halved, with each tick giving 5 Kenki and one out of 10 Meditation stacks. (Iajutsu would thereby give, say, 60 potency each.)

Honestly, I'd prefer Iaijutsu (including TG's) not to give stacks. Without that function, Hagakure would be easy to fix to exactly potency-neutral (including its GCD saved), and its return as a 30-second CD or the like would be tremendous boon for making SAM's rotation feel at least as fluid as it was in SB -- likely far more so.

Similarly, why are they even worried about Shoha (effectively, Meditation II) when TG's still such a clunky part of gameplay. Why aren't we giving it a grace period?
I think at this point that most of the Samuraï community is just feeling way too down after the liveletter to be angry at what was announced. We're all okay to say that the issue is with Tsubame and our lost Hagakure, and not Shoha. I feel like we wouldn't have made such a ruckuss about Shoha if Tsubame was an actually good skill. The big issue is that we spent all of 5.0 not complaining enough about Tsubame in order for the devs to actually pay attention to our concerns. And even now, there is way too few that still have the will to ask for a better rotation. I'm worried that most of the issues are still here because we didn't talk enough about them.

Sam's rotation will still be clunky as long as Tsubame will exist in its current form. Not Shoha, and it saddens me to see that the devs didn't see that. And the new "fix" for Shoha is a nice idea, but Meditate Fishing is horrible because of the way tick rate works. It's sad to see that they found a way to give us something that already wasn't working correctly for monk.
