Kenseis often care more about the big number than reducing any other numbers, that's the class fantasy alongside looking sick while doing their combos. They technically have a class DR in the form of Ogata's Waraji but thats pushing it just a little. The Miragewalk changes helped with their current evade amounts a lot so I think defensively they're a lot more fine since those changes. Really only Kensei could benefit from base Duelist getting a buff to Disengage as I think Disengage isn't that good right now.
Really just what Kensei needs is a better ability to "Big Number" and thats it, they should be on par with a Void Assassin as a glass cannon DPS in my eyes, one such suggestion I could think of is a main class passive that allows them to critically hit with their skills as well, for like a 25% damage increase.
Katana Master should probably give a critical damage increase to Katanas as well, matching Deadly Arms for a 25% increase to critical damage.
I think Kensei is actually above average and there are far more worse off classes than it, even if Kensei mains are the loudest about their complaints. A lot of them are very valid, but this class is very close to being perfectly balanced, closer than anyone really thinks.
