50% STR + 50% SKI comes out to 30/2 + 60/2 = 45 base damage. Add in a masterwork
rockdirt wo dao's 14 power for 59 damage, and the rank bonus of 15 at rank 5, for a total
of 74 damage.
Then factor in the average monster having 30 DEF, and you're right down to a miniscule
44 damage.
At least with 100% SKI scaling, it would be 60 + 14 + 15 = 89 base damage. It would still
be reduced to 59 or so, but at least it's a little better, especially now that they can crit.
The point is, a Kensei's primary stat is SKI, and that's what should be used for their
damage.
And as for Tekagen and trying to kite and regen, there're quite a lot of gap closers and
ranged attacks that make that less viable outside of PvE.
