Suiton will look like a water spout followed pretty much immediately with a hard burst, in case you find the situation again. Idk if that SMN saw him coming or prepared but you can mess up a NIN's mudras with CC. No Fetter Ward for them either. Garuda knockback > Tri-Disaster = crippled.

Not saying the NIN wouldn't have still won, but the SMN seemed unprepared. He gon' learn today.
