NIN changes and queries

[Syphin_Polaris]

My take on Meisui is to consume the Suiton effect when TCJ doesn't line up with the trick cooldown, what way you'd still come out on top with ninki (assuming you don't overcap it) to push towards a bunshin or bhava. I'm not sure about TCJ under trick, it doesn't feel right in my head and I'm not going to say I'm great at the whole theory craft but I feel like bunshin will be the go to for trick window, assuming the clone's damage is respectable and I would assume it is.

Expanding on our AoE with Death Blossom > Hakke Mujinsatsu is going to be really nice. We are losing 100 potency on Bhava, but with basically no CD? it's a buff out right imo. The two new ninjitsu from Kassatsu (on top of kassatsu having 2 charges and half the CD we have now) I welcome with open arms. Might not be promised crits but there is still a boost in damage and new toys, can't really complain. I wish it told us how much the boost was though.

We'll see what the (official) numbers are once we get our hands on it first hand as we don't know what may or may not change, or errors in the tool tips from the media tour. The math boys and girls that theory craft and test their hearts out will be all over this and I'm sure they already are looking at these even if they change. Till then, trying to contain my excitement for the xpac is... getting really difficult lol.

My first thoughts too, it seems to make more sense to feed the Bunshin, it's the... cognitively simpler option.
However, if you're out of oGCD's to weave (you only have Bhava, Mug, Dream and Assassinate) and you only have your weaponskills left for the last 2-3 or so seconds, and you're back at the start of your combo...

Spinning Edge is 200 potency, or 400 under Bunshin.
Fuma Shuriken is 280, or 560 under Ten Chi Jin.

If you manage to fit a fifth GCD in your trick window:
Gust Slash is 250 potency, 500 under Bunshin.
Raiton is 400 potency, 800 under Ten Chi Jin.
And you can probably get that Raiton out quicker than the second GCD if you start your Ten Chi Jin immediately after Aeolian Edge, making you more likely to fit it into the Trick window than Gust Slash.

Then... I guess you Suiton and Meisui to get another Bhavacakra, not in the Trick window obviously but quicker than you otherwise would. Unless this screws up your Ninki gauge sync for the next rotation.
