theres a total of 99 spendable points in kensei, I'm not necro posting the old thread I brought this up in.

Arbalest which is a similarly defined niche class has 68 spendable points.

I feel the major issue with kensei is that theres too much passive bloat in this class.

you need to spend 18points in innates before you can even start looking at slotted passives, 9 points for the ki's 3 points for yomidori, 5 points in katana mastery.

then you spend 5 points on mandatory absolute death.

if you want to use hidden cut 6 point minimum investment

If you want to use blade barrier 10 point investment, reflect requires rank 5 to be useful and deflect scales bad unless max rank.

each of the SIX skills is 5 points and I've honestly never seen them used because of kensei's passive tax.

Suggested changes.

blade barrier and hidden cut become 2 point investment, 1 to unlock, 1 to not cost a slot.

Touki, kenki, sakki, yomidori become a single 5 rank passive rank 1 -4 unlocks each at their rank 1 strength and rank 5 bumps them to their current rank 3 strength.


this would free up a total of 13-15 points ( if you don't max out for free slots) lowering the total sp count to 84 which is much more inline with soldier, rogue and archer promotions and ghost (87 points)
