Ninja: Heaven-Sword (And Beyond)

Glad for EU players getting to experience Mudras as they're meant to be. Maybe one day the US will join you. :(

Am I the only one who SORT OF******** likes how Raiton is only best used when it has a buff backing it? It actually makes Fuma relevant since in a world with zero latency and zero GCD issues, there will be no reason to use Fuma ever again once acquiring Raiton. It's not so much the case now. While the relevance is cool, it's relevant for all the wrong reasons unfortunately.

I've been using Raiton when I run into TP problems, so there is that. D:

Which all falls down to "relevant for the wrong reasons" lol

Hurray! TP adjustments.

Does anyone here still use Sneak Attack endgame? The only use I see for it is if another Ninja happened to use their TA VERY recently and instead of restarting the timer, you can just go for the potential 550 potency attack. And that's IF it's viable to even walk in front of the boss. My Cross hotbar is crying.

Another question. Why use Doton into Kassatsu'd Katon? Wouldn't it be better to use Katon into Kassatsu Doton? Unless this is for the sake of reliable damage(tank moves mobs out of aoe etc)

I use Sneak Attack in the add phase of A3S. It is one of the few abilities I can actually get off before the BLM+BRD 1 GCD my adds. (I'm usually in my corner crying because it's pointless trying...) :(

That's what I do (using Katon into Kassatsu Doton), because of crit ticks. But I do wonder as well what benefits could we get from using Doton into a Kassatsu Katon... if any other fellow ninja would like to share : )

Honestly, I think it's just for convenience's sake. There's far too many times a tank moves enemies out of my Doton's AOE which will eventually make it weaker than what a Kassatsu Katon would've done.

Can I just ask a quick question? I'm thinking of leveling Ninja soon, possibly, and was curious about one part of your visual rotation (seen here).

In the opener, why do you use Blood for Blood before your first attack? Couldn't you shift it to the empty spot between GS and DE instead, and have it last an extra 4s at the end to pick up both Jugulate and Dream Within a Dream? I figure you're doing it to have it come back sooner, but it just seems to me you'd get more mileage out of it using it then instead of holding it. Am I wrong? D:
