SAM doesn't generate resources from positionals anymore, but that's irrelevant anyways; potency is potency. Previously, those 5 Kenki were worth ~64 potency. Now, as direct potency, they're worth a straight 60.


Let's consider, then, the most 'stupidly simple' combo in the game -- DRK's.

It wants to bank for burst; any resource explited outside of burst is a potency loss.
Every 2nd step in combo, though, risks overcapping MP. Every 3rd step in combo risks overcapping Gauge.

That's a fair bit of resource interaction in that combo, no?
Right, thank you for correcting me on samurai, I forgot about that.
You can use that edge or that bloodspiller any time earlier, you dont have to keep it up to directly overcapping it. If they arent in buffs either way, they can be freely shuffled around and IMO that is something decoupled from paying attention to your combo.
