    Does the SAM rotation allow so much flexibility that Jinpu and Shifu fall off if you're building Sen properly? I'm definitely not a SAM expert, but it seems to me that because of the nature of Iaijutsu/Hagakure, the primary decider for when to use Jinpu and Shifu is the need to combo into Gekko and Kasha for Sen. Is 40s not long enough that you would just naturally use Jinpu/Shifu on your way to Gekko/Kasha without looking at a gauge to see whether you should do Jinpu/Shifu?

    WAR and MNK on the other hand, could certainly benefit from a gauge for Storm's Eye and Twin Snakes, since the primary decider of whether you should use Storm's Eye or Twin Snakes is how much time remains on those buff timers.

    Nah, you'd be surprised how long you can keep Iaijutsu going with just Yukikaze and Meikyo Shisui. You can throw your opener Higanbana, then throw 2 Midares with a Tsubame in the middle and by the time you're spinning around the third Midare, you can start with Shifu and lose Jinpu for 2 entire Sens if you don't know where your buffs are at.
