An idea to reduce NIN pre-pull woes

[verdres]

After learning NIN for a while, I've experienced a brand of suffering unique to the NIN Job: people pulling while you are still inputting mudras.

This isn't really a problem in Dungeon content because your naturally fast move speed + shikuchi allow you to preposition better and pre-cast Huton. However, in any Trial or Raid, you frequently have considerations that no other class has. You may want to input Huton ASAP in preparation for the early pull, and that works 90% of the time. However, there are also times where you are left waiting for nearly 30s, and the moment you decide to use Huton/Hide a second time, the tank wakes up and pulls...

My proposed solution is as follows:
-Make Hide freeze the countdown of Huton.

Spawn into the duty, immediately Huton/Hide, and now you can calmly wait for your party to get sorted. Also works if you reach the next boss room in an alliance raid, and your 3 tanks are waffling about for some reason.

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this is a great idea.

while we're at it, samurai meditation should freeze crit n ss buffs

Most classes should have skills that freeze their buffs, honestly. Especially if used outside of combat. Sure some of them would be most useful in dungeon runs and not raids but they'd make it feel much better

Like Umbral Soul on BLM should freeze Umbral Ice if used outside of combat.

Anatman on monk should do the same with Disciplined Fist and their current form.
