So what's the latest opening burst rotation for non. 2nd how or when do use AC? And 3rd mudra lag still exist, so does AC lowers that a bit since we can pretty much doing ninjutsu and just focus on suiton and fuma/raiton.

latest opening burst rotation for NIN

With BFB, IR, DE, Suiton and Kassatsu active,
After an SE use TA right before throwing SF.
Make sure you wind in a Ninjutsu, DwD, Mug and a Duality AE,
You should also have right about enough time to wind in a mutilate, and if you can also, a Jugulate.

Figuring out how to do this is yet another layer of problems for the NIN
but 'twould be best to mind make it happen before your Huton falls below 20
If you opened with Huton as your starter (at 0 Huton seconds wait time) start up with an MU -> DE -> SF -> AE as your filler to make time for Ninjutsu to refresh.

With current skill speeds I found that the latest you can begin a combo for Huton Extend is 8-7s, for some reason unlike dots if you apply when the timer ticks from 1-0 it doesn't re-apply (gotta be server lag atm).

So i tend to treat Huton like a dot on myself now, 14s left means i have time for a fang combo and an armor crush comfrotably, or a AE or DE combo and armor crush so long as the add wont die (fucking bismark) or a mechanic isn't incoming (please stop making yourself untargeted ravana).

i had no problem extending at 1 sec but the time said 30 seconds instead of 31, it seems that 1 second was lost most like due to server

He is talking about attempting to refresh huton at the very last second and it falling off before the Armor Crush animation ends. If huton falls before the end of the animation its gone.

Its much different for lets say MNK, in which (in the past) you could hit Demolish at the last second the stacks would fall off, drop them, but retain GL3.
