Ninja: I have genuine questions to the Dev team

[Rika007]

That's how YOU interpreted that, in which case, I don't care. You're not the one I'm asking these questions to, anyway.

Nah homie, if anything everyone else is being nice to you right now with how they are trying to say stuff. Lets just be real, you're whole entire post comes off as self entitled soap box preaching designed to do little more then insult the devs. Don't take offense to others calling you out on it when all you did was be offensive. Own it.

I think it's fairly clear based on how you phrased things.
Have some self-awareness and actually read what you said again.

Since you're so set on reading intent and emotions, from a post written on the internet, and completely ignoring the actual content of the thread, let me clarify for you, then. In the 3rd line, I clearly stated that I was confused by these changes, and then (meaning after) I asked my questions.

Now, imagine a confused person, who you know nothing about, asking those questions in a state of confusion. If it still looks to you that the person you just imagined is " angry " and just " ranting ", then I can't help you, and you should stop trying to read people's mind and intent on the internet!

I can't believe I'm explaining something so obvious...

refer to my answer to Kolsykol.

I would be pleased if they just made it to where your gcd combo did not interrupt the raiju continuation, or erase the proc in general. I feel like that's all they need to do.
I really don't understand the change from 70 to 60 seconds on huton also.

I'd be fine with this. It'd reduce some decision-making, but I see no issue with NIN straight-up having ridiculous amounts of mobility available to it through Raiton's additional effects.

Yeah just feels bad in mechanic heavy situations.
For example,
"OH hey! I have to disengage from the boss, because there is aoe circles swarming under him! ..but I'm currently doing the raiju 2-6 gap closer GCD spam, and if I do anything else besides throwing knives or ninjustsu, it'll waste my raiju procs completely!"

"So let me just use one of my charges of ninjutsu to disengage and keep uptime, no worries"

"OH no there is more mechanics happening and more aoe circles appearing, and I have 4 GCD GAPCLOSER stacks that I need to do! ..guess I'm going to throwing knives town, or sasuke chidori in and die"

Just seems beyond clunky to me,* idk.

[Shurrikhan]

...

I get that.

Sadly, the only solutions that come to mind right now --outside of allowing Raijuu not to be interrupted-- that would be worth their time, imo, are rather... large/broad changes.

I knew it. As soon as I got my hands on Reaper and played around with it, I thought to myself, "I just know people are gonna complain about Death's Design". However, I doubt anyone thinks it's, "hard" to keep it up. As far as I know, nobody complains about the damage buff for Dragoon, and that's probably because it's part of one of their combos.

Probably they're just complaining because they keep forgetting to keep it up, being new to the job. I think it's neat, though, since you can stack it up to 60s and the animations are both pretty sick. It's not the most interesting ability, but it's got a place in the kit imo.

Shadow/Whorl of death feels like the shallowest of shallow mechanics outside of "My combo goes to 5 steps!!!" but I do love what it does for high-mob FATE zergs. 10 Reapers Guillotine twice and they've already refunded one or two Guillotine(s)' worth of gauge for the next pack of 10 mobs.

...Of course, such could as easily be a passive/trait for "10 gauge on kill."
