Samurai changes are unacceptable in the current iteration

I gotta say, i really like the idea of senei/guren replacing shinten/kyuten on ikishoten. Reduces button bloat while still keeping that whole bit working as is and doesn't obstruct anything in terms of rotation. We already get Ikishoten before those two bigger skill so it wouldn't require much in restructuring in terms of when we get the skills. Also, I vote for that Shoha change too since that is the most natural change they could've done when they introduced shoha 2. Still boggles the mind on why it's a separate button.

Also, i hope they don't keep sam at this state. Hope they say more about this soon because right now, pvp sam feels more like a sam (with the big skills having that ooomph factor in terms of damage) than pve sam with our wet noodle sticks.

I mocked up an graphic for it a while back so if anyone hasn't seen, this it visualized

Spread the idea, the devs should absolutely make the change, as it really doesn't have any negatives to it.
(Warrior already does it lol, imagine if inner chaos was it's own button, instead of replacing fell cleave under nascent chaos, how awful)
There's very little I can say anymore so just really want the idea to become more widespread lol.

Merging Senei and Guren is still a valid solution (albeit a lazy one), but this is even better than that since it removes 2 buttons instead of one, and removes drifting on the Ikishoten / Guren & Senei CD's.
It lowers the skill floor, but maintains the skill ceiling since those at the ceiling already are unlikely to let cd's drift.
Oh and this is excellent for making way for a new odd or even minute CD they could introduce next expansions if they wanted to as well.
