That makes me sad that even I'd we made space through all the suggested consolidations it wouldn't be able to return. 10 kenki barely matters in the grand scheme of things, but I guess it had to be the change to make since positional are no longer tied to kenki generation and only damage. I feel like that was poor decision.

Ah well...


fix SAM please.
in the grand scheme of things and concidering how often DPS have to take damage in fights?
using merciful eyes as much as possible will net you quite a few extra Shintens (now atleast)

take P1S for example, you got the raid wides obviously, that's 10 in the beginning.
then more raid wides (each gives 10 and there's quite a few through p1s)
then you got the elemental mechanic, which either you take 2 or 3 hits (both 10 kenki each) if you got to switch 3 times you would have 30 kenki from that mechanic (50 kenki meaning 2 shintens)
then another raid AOE after for another 10, then either an TB that you take damage for.

when you just look at the ability it sucks, but put it into perspective howmany times you can press it.
P1S each TB except for 1 variation (the tank swapped TB atleast) does AOE damage.
Even if it's only 3-4 shintens over the course of a fight, that's still 3-4 extra shintens, could save you on an 0.1% wipe.
