I should probably just cut it all short here:

Kensei is flat-out just better than Ghost at the moment.
Ghost’s roster is half useless, part situational, and part necessary to even get the class working.
Kensei is entirely better, sans Wraithguard, where it can do everything infinitely better.

Kensei’s cardinal sin is more than likely the Raijin: even though it got nerfed, its tiny 30% STR scaling is so negligible that without building STR, one can Two-Hand a Raijin for over 110+ SWA.
Ghost has to either go into Fitting Form in order to keep up with the rapidly expanding Evasion meta or go into Two-Handing to completely fall behind and never be able to hit.

There are several suggestions I have:
-Hit Raijin where it hurts, make it in line with the other elemental katanas. (scaling goes from 30% STR 30% SKI 40% LUC to 60% STR 40% LUC)
-Buff Ghost’s arsenal as a whole, because it entirely falls short.
-Hit Kensei directly, somehow, without rendering it obsolete.
-Buff STR, so melee builds that have to build STR to compete with similar SWA can actually catch up.

The amount of Kenseis that build a no-STR Raijin Bloody Palms turns the entire meta into ‘don’t fight Kenseis, they instantly win from stat advantages’.
