It's all pointless busyworks and now both Monk and Ninja have had their buff management removed because god forbid you have some variety in jobs.

I still kinda wonder about Huraijin.. but I wonder more about the Mudra Combination for Huton.. what will that do then??
Hurajin will just get removed and Huton will be wind aoe that gives the hidden status ... it's so cool if you think about it a ninja vanishing in the wind haha
Please do. Upkeep buffs are always annoying in games with downtime.



So, instead of using an armor crush about every 2 aeolian edges to refresh your buff you're going to be using armor crush about every 2 aeolian edges to charge your buff?
Is using huton once before the fight and watching the pinwheel tick down that important?
Mechanically it feels like it's just going to remove some pre-fight tedious preparations.



Actually let me change that stance, if anything it's probably gonna add a little bit more depth than the current system since at least now you'll have to try to enter the burst phases with enough stacks to fit as many aeolian edges as you can into it instead of just "is timer under 30sec? Yes: Armor crush | No: Aeolian edge"So, instead of using an armor crush about every 2 aeolian edges to refresh your buff you're going to be using armor crush about every 2 aeolian edges to charge your buff?

I'm just gonna speculate but I think the kunai meter will buff both Aeolian edge and Raijus leading you to at least use Armor Crush twice to setup your burst . Maybe Hide will now reset you kunai meter and mudra charges since pre hide Doton and Huton aren't a thing no more . I kinda hope the kunai adds a guaranteed crit or DH and not just added potency because you already get added potency with Bunshin , buff stacking to make your attacks really impactfulActually let me change that stance, if anything it's probably gonna add a little bit more depth than the current system since at least now you'll have to try to enter the burst phases with enough stacks to fit as many aeolian edges as you can into it instead of just "is timer under 30sec?

I loved NIN in ShB, I love it more in EW, and I'm very hype for DT after what we learned today.
I have no particular attachment to huton qua GCD buff, and I won't mind no longer getting got when tanks insta pull before I've timed huton. Plus, now I get to use wind element on opponents and not just on myself.
