I'd be totally fine with either the Attack Speed being trait-ed and Huton's Ninjutsu itself being turned into something else or it actually needing to be recast roughly once per minute (70s max duration again) and would much rather Armor Crush (or any rebrand of Finisher #2) do something more interesting (and then add back Shadowfang atop that).
Yeah especially with GL becoming a passive it feels a bit like it doesn't belong in the way the game plays anymore.
They could bring Shadowfang back as a combo and make Huton a passive.
It's kinda strange to me that Huraijin didn't replace Armor Crush to begin with, why does crushing someones armor refresh my Huton lol?
If not replace it with Shadowfang they could bring back Dancing Edge and make it buff Aeolian Edge or something so you're swapping between the two.

But regardless of what they do, Huton only makes for irritation in that often times tanks will insta pull in duty finder and welp your opener is messed up and you've just wasted a Ninjutsu in lower lvl content and even so in higher level content using Huraijin honestly just feels like an annoyance it's not as exciting as just leading in with your Mudras.
And keeping it up with Armor Crush isn't rly all that fun.
At least Shadowfang taking its place it'd feel a little more interesting than just '' guess imma do my lower dmg combo now to refresh Huton ''.
The damage difference isn't even big which makes it feel even more pointless.
