A Ninja guide without mathmatical gook please?

I can't understand all this math talk. I read it all, but all I saw are numbers, and things I don't understand. I was never good at math in school, so could someone please tell me simply what my ninja rotation is. Please, and thank you.

Keep Huton up and use armor crush about every 30 secs. Use Trick Attack every minute and follow by a Kassastsu Raiton every other TA. Let the war handle slashing debuff. Keep DoTs up, use off GCDs as soon as they pop and use CDs.
Please have a poison up.

There a basic ninja guide

This guide is probably what you are more interested in.

That's a great guide, thank you lulunami. :)

I have no rotation. I just attack and prioritize ticks/dots lol...

Within the guide, it says:
"Individual ticks of Doton will all be guaranteed crits if you use it with Kassatsu, making it one of the most potent AoE abilities in the game."

Why is it when I do this, people put so much focus into me by telling me Kassatsu should be with Raiton instead? I mean, I know that, but in dungeons with adds, I use Doton with Kassatsu, so I don't see what the fuss is about.

The simple answer? People are idiots, and a whole lot of them underestimate DoTs in general, and particularly AoE DoTs when dealing with trash mobs.....

Could also be because DoT tick crits cannot be recorded. Thats why your DPS will look underwhelming compared to Raiton. But guaranteed CRIT + DoT is defintiely more potent.

Or its more likely the association with bad ninjas who frequently Doton on single targets like it's shadow flare or flaming arrow.

This ^^ most garbage ninjas Doton single targets or enemies that won't even survive a third of the dot ticks. If I'm in Fractal and you doton a boss or the mobs near the end that die in 10 seconds I'm going to look at you sideways >.>
