    That's... not at all optimal in the first place. What of your Hyosho Ranryu and Suiton? Why would you ever be using 3 Raiton in a row?

    And that's assuming the increase over average ppgcd on the now single Raijuu GCD isn't simply the sum of the increase over average ppgcd of the previously two Raijuu GCDs. In all likelyhood, NIN wasn't buffed at all; it's just become faintly more frontloaded, which is only really a boon if it allows us to get off an extra Aeolian Edge inside raid buff where we'd previously only manage up to Gust Blade. To call that a negligible difference would still be an overstatement.

    But, again, what is the issue? The gap close from melee range binds up at most a half-second of movement; you have 77%+ left of your GCD in which to prepare for it. Your alternative is to simply have used another melee range skill anyways, subject to nearly all the same issues. Instead, now your level 90 skill has been halved in its frequency and you've lost available capacity, often wasted or no.
