    As you said, though, that's due to Suiton and TCJ, and the fact that none of those scale with Attack Speed, for (60-11.5)mod[GCD] desync per TA. Usually, that's not even enough to be forced into deciding between a perfectly instant TA (at clip cost) and maximizing uptime (at cost of TA immediacy).

    In either case, though, scaling it with SkS is going to be irrelevant to the factors currently desyncing it, and would ultimately just obscure what the player has to do to maintain sync with other raid buffs, making it harder for your team to rely on.

    If you're getting delay from casting Suiton right before TA comes up... why? You have an entire Ninjutsu's cooldown of precasting available to you. There is no reason to push back TA over that. Maybe I'm just playing at a more favorable SkS breakpoint, but be it on a TCJ minute or no-TCJ minute, I've no problems getting TA up instantly upon refresh without clipping.

    Meanwhile, scaling Raiton to a standard GCD, TCJ and Suiton each to a 125 or 133% GCD or so, and Fuma to a 67 or 75% GCD, and buffing Fuma to be equal or nearly equal in efficiency to Raiton given its shorter uptime cost, would allow for perfect sync; every Suiton, applied by TCJ or otherwise, could be evened out by a Fuma, so that your GCD could never put you in a position of weighing TA immediacy against uptime (which, ofc, uptime would always win, thus causing desync).
