    This would only be a dps increase if your Ninjutsu CD started cooling down before actually being 'used'. Otherwise the 10-21% Ninjutsu frequency loss in by delaying its release over 2 to 4.3 seconds will already mostly counter the benefits of reducing GCD loss to clipping by roughly 3-7% (depending especially on how that times out against buffs, debuffs, and CDs).

    Personally I like that they have to be done in series; I just hate when I cast Suiton, see the animation despite that it never actually 'went off', follow with my next attack, and bunny it. I'd rather that actions cannot bunny mudras, but rather simply set it (so if you lag-clip your 2nd mudra with a following action it merely becomes Fuma Shuriken, not a bunny) and that Ninjutsu damage bonuses are based on when the mudra was set/completed (or else it'd always be preferable to pop IR/BFB just before releasing Raiton whereas our playstyle until then has always had us popping CDs prior to mudra use). At that point the changes would be QoL except that we can ready a Ninjutsu slightly early, allowing us later oGCD space for the next 5 seconds (actually holding it for a coming add would still be a dps loss, as Ninjutsu is not cooling down during that time, but at least accidentally popping it early wouldn't leave us standing there like any idiot until the add pops so we can Raiton it).
