Question regarding NIN

[Tsubaki75]

The fight being shorter doesnt mean you're less likely to lose 1 GCD though (as it isnt really something you can plan without knowing what you are up to)

It's not about losing 1 gcd, the fight being shorter means that you are less likely to gain a gcd by using fuma so you use raiton for the xtra damage. i'm referring to quick fights like most lower lvl dungeon bosses and early normal primals

But you're not trying to win GCDs by using Fuma, you want to lower the clipping to avoid losing one, in the end it is pretty much the same but the logic behind it is different.

Now, again, no, the fight being shorter doesnt mean it is more likely to end at a specific timing making you "Win" or "Not lose" one GCD.
This is literally the reason you tend to Raiton only if you have a consistent killtime because otherwise it is just pure RNG and you can't just assume that using Raiton wont make you lose one GCD.
