NIN feels even more off after the 6.05 changes

Wouldn't you want to use Raiju near immediately anyway to get it in under TA and all that?

If you could bank the charges then you could have charges ready for when TA came up.

You get charges from using Raiton, which you also want to use under TA. They're already there. Some people act like making the stacks not break instead of allowing us to pick the pure melee option would somehow add some flexibility, when in fact the entire gameplay of NIN is based on fitting everything you can under TA anyways. Raijus actually having utility-difference also makes them more than just button bloat and we've just gotten the Kamaitachi hotkey freed for them.

As for Bunshin, its 90 second cd is pretty much the only thing keeping the downtimes a little bit varied. If anything, NIN needs a couple more cds that automatically drift away from TA, not less.

Raitons should be under trick, but you get a nijutsu ever 20s so you would be able to bank charges of Raiju to use during TA and still have both charges of ninjutsu up for TA window.

What charges though? The one ninjutsu that's used outside of TA is Suiton, to set up the TA, you don't get Raiju charges from that. The other 2 are what you hold for TA.
