The Problems With Ninja In Endwalker

[Pyitoechito]

Huraijin is just a death recovery skill so a mudra doesn't have to be wasted on Huton after reviving. It won't help if one never dies or drops Huton (due to extended downtime...? Just recast Huton), but it will be a net buff when recovering from death and for newer or less skilled NINs (who might accidentally drop Huton from time to time). Imagine dying during EX or Savage prog and being able to get up and reapply Huton with a 200 potency GCD instead of wasting more time and a mudra casting Huton. Or hey, you were thinking about pretty clouds and forgot to cast Huton/Hide before the tank rushes in and pulls the boss without a countdown. I wonder if it would be a better option to open with Hurajin in that situation?

As for Forked/Fleeting Raiju, can someone find some footage or documentation from the media tour that objectively shows "Forked Raiju Ready" is lost when using any other weaponskill after Raiton? I can't seem to find anything that proves it either way, so I would like some evidence to confirm that since the 30s buff duration makes it seem like it would last longer. Not interested in Fleeting Raiju here since it would make sense for hit two of the 1-2 Raiju combo to drop if another WS is used.

If it is the case that Forked Raiju is lost when using any WS after Raiton, then that's something SE probably needs to fix sooner rather than later. Though the only WS I can think of being used if forced to disengage is Throwing Dagger (or mudras).

Edit: I found the part in MrHappy's video showing that Raiju does drop on any other WS (Throwing Dagger untested). So it is confirmed.
