You don’t need single target and AOE variants of these abilities. Especially when Guren already did it right in SB: it was your second strongest ability, and could be used in both a single target scenario and an AOE scenario. Senei is redundant and needless bloat when Guren already did the same thing prior. And this single-target with AOE falloff isn’t a new concept. It’s still a thing on other jobs now.

imagine you have an add next to you that explodes on hit, now would you stop using you Kenki Burst Skills and lose dps until the add is taken care of or you just press your skills and wipe? there is a reason why we have skills for those 2 situations and not understanding this is what brought us here, the removal of Kaiten is wrong!
See above. SB Guren already solved this problem: you could use it on single target for high potency, or against multiple enemies for a cleave. It didn’t need a single-target variant. It already got the job done.

also here is a Macro that turns Ikishoten into Ogi Namikiri:
/macroicon "Ikishoten"
/ac "Ikishoten"
/ac "Ogi Namikiri"

additional notes:
1. press this macro 3 times, 1st for Ikishoten, 2nd for Ogi Namikiri, 3rd for Kaeshi Namikiri. I call this Macro: Double Slice Buster
2. use Auto-translation for /macroicon, "Ikishoten" and "Ogi Namikiri" so the Game can read this Macro on all clients
3. did you noticed that Ikishoten has the same cool down as Senei and Guren? perfect to combo Senei into Ogi (for Single Target) or Guren into Ogi (for AoE) depending on the situation.
Do not recommend combat macros without also addressing the issues they present within combat. Macros do not queue in this game, and you risk losing more damage in your attempt to consolidate, and from macro misfires. They are not and have never been recommended for general combat uses outside of a handful of oGCD utilities. Never for combo consolidation like what you are suggesting.
