I am currently using these 6 Khri and watching my concentration remain in equilibrium. It is not decreasing or regaining, what this means is if I am using ambushes like I normally would, I will eventually tank my concentration making 6 khri unsustainable for hunting.
You are under the influence of the Darken meditation, which should last around 19 roisaen. TIER 1
You are under the influence of the Dampen meditation, which should last around 13 roisaen. TIER 2
You are under the influence of the Steady meditation, which should last around 16 roisaen. TIER 3
You are under the influence of the Elusion meditation, which should last around 14 roisaen. TIER 3
You are under the influence of the Strike meditation, which should last around 18 roisaen. TIER 2
You are under the influence of the Hasten meditation, which should last around 17 roisaen. TIER 1
This appears to be a downgrade in the number of abilities I can used compared to the 7 khri I currently maintain with very little downtime in Prime.
Does this look right? Is it possible to keep 6 or 7 going and still be gaining concentration? I suppose I can just use 5 khri, but it looks like the two most useless (dampen and hasten) I need to keep up to learn any utility.
The concentration costs aren't set in stone just yet, but yes, the ability setup is designed to have you make choices. Looking at what you have up, you could for instance drop Steady if you are focusing on melee weapons and ambushes, then switch Strike for Steady and drop Hasten when you focus on ranged, and still be able to pepper in some ambushes.
If you end up using more Augmentation khri in combat, which should be the norm, you can always load up extra Utility khri when you aren't hunting, and use khri meditate to focus on that skill.
The systems are vastly different, and there is no way to across the board ensure that all level range of players can still have the exact same number of abilities from the old system in the new. I think things are pretty close right now, even if they require some shifts in play style.

Not sure how related this is but under the old system khri cost would compound based on how many khri you were running.

Don't have any idea what that says, but maybe it could be eased up just a little, or tier 3/4 khri could have their base costs reduced a little bit.
I too feel like I'm either running much less (than in prime) for much longer, or about the same + ambushes for much shorter, or a bit more (with or without khri) for much shorter.
Will say tho that the more I play in test the better I'm doing of managing my concentration usage, and with some recent changes to ambush costs and more time played, I'll probably be doing even better.
Thanks for the suggestions. So it sounds like the answer is use less khri.
It looks like I need hasten and dampen to move utility, and I absolutely need elusion, darken, and strike with ambush screen and ambush stun to hunt at level. Not that I could find anything in test that would teach evasion or stealth that didn't kill me right away....
I will probably load up on utility when stealing or crafting, but most time will be spent in combat and training utility in combat is a requirement.
I understand that the systems are vastly different but right now in Prime I can run 7 khri and ambush to my hearts content. In test even only running 5 khri, I need to restrict my ambushing or I will tank my concentration in 10 or so minutes. I even bumped up discipline from 90 in prime to 100 in test.
