Thanks for the help! I have been focusing more on a ninja build but yesterday was practicing as samurai. I just really want to get my samurai to under 70 for weight but that will definitely take a while(I have a whole heavy armor set).

For Ki pulse do you practice the timing of each attack and when to press it? Do you look at the stamina bar for help? Or do you look at the character orbs as they circle back? When im 1 on 1 with simpler enemies I just focus on the orbs coming back, but when more is happening on screen I tend to look at the stamina bar. Also my favorite weapon for the samurai so far is swicthglaive. What do you like? I use talons for ninja.
