DPS ninja guide 2.0

Hey guys,

Few days ago i did vidéo guide to show how to have a good dps with the Ninja (450 + on parser) i show the rotation and i explain what you need to remember as a ninja in a fight (debuff - CD - buff etc...)

Here is the vidéo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7INyy-30oj4

Lot of people gave me advice to increase my DPS and i did a new vidéo with a new rotation, 750 dps at the opener (on 30sec - 40sec) then on 3min i'm near 500 - 530 DPS on my friend's parser.

So.. here is the new guide if you guys want to look :

If you want to ask me something or give me advice, your welcome.

Thank you :p

Did you really get 500-530 dps with that rotation? I've do something similar (not tha kassatsu suiton at the start though) and i can only really get 460 max lol.

yeah i really did, next time i ll ask my friend who got the parser to record me, you won't see my spells, but you'll see the parser lol

Hmmm thank you. Do you know what your ping is like?

Hello, thanks for the video! Would it be possible for you to write down the rotation with English skill names as well? :)

Oh yeah ofc i'll work on it :)

You should be doing far more with that gear and please, never open with Kassatsu again ><

I saw you ask a few questions in the thread but I'm not sure if you checked the OP. Please do for some tested rotations - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ja-Superthread

You don't have the parse displayed on your UI?

He said his friend is doing the parsing. I'd assume he's playing on PS4.

It is hard to say you are doing something without visual proof. I can make a video hitting only 1 > 2 > 3 and say I am doing 600 DPS. From his opener and rotation, I have a hard time believing the numbers he is saying is true.

Oh, I agree. I was just saying that he mentioned his friend was doing the parsing, and from the video it looks like he's playing on PS4. I'd also add that 3 minutes isn't really a sufficient timeframe for a parse. Hell even 4-4:30 that you see from a lot people when they go TP dry isn't that good to display sustained damage when we have fights that can last ~10 minutes with very high uptime. With how slow you attack in this game it takes a while or crit rates to level out. That's why we'll see people cherry picking a shorter parses that are much higher because of good luck with crits. I pretty commonly see 10-15 DPS variations when doing fairly short parses when one will have 25% overall and another will be 35+% overall.

So far the only differences i can see is that you open with Kassatsu (ewww lol) and that you substitute a Raiton for a shorter GCD Shiruken. I'm not sure why the Shiruken was used can anyone break this down for me?

I know that Shiruken is best used in situations where you wont have enough time to refresh Suiton (Sub 20 seconds) if you perform a Raiton. But it doesnt seem to be the situation in the video.

It has been debated if Fuma Shuriken is overall more viable if you have really bad mudra lag. However, in a normal situation, Raiton is much better. There are certain situations like the adds in T11 that are resistant to thunder damage and it is actually better to use Fuma Shuriken on those. Right now, Fuma Shuriken is situation based at best.

^^^ This

If you have bad mudra delay than Fuma will always be better. Ideally Raiton is always better though.

I told you guys if you want a proof, i will ask my friend to record but u won't see witch spell i use, you will only see the parser... but okay.

i'm between 500 - 530 DPS on 3min, and i think with a better use of kassatsu i could do more damage.

And for the fuma shuriken... i had 16-17sec on my fûton and i don't know why but i have a lot of "mudra lag" (maybe cuz im playing on Ps4) that's why i did the Fuma shuriken, i lose 4 sec on futon.
If i did Raiton i lose like 7-8sec on Fûton..

You must have far better ping than i do. Because i do a similar rotation (no kassatsu suiton at the start) and i can only seem to get around 465 or so at around 3 minutes.

i have 'mudra lag" like everyone on PS4 i think i have a pretty good connection.

Maybe i have a better stuff or i don't know i tried again 4/5 times this evening with my friend, im constantly between 500 - 530.

Btw yeah don't do the kassatsu at the beginning, that's sucks. lol

What gear do you have?
EDIT: You have pretty similar gear to me. Not sure what is giving you at least 40 more dps than me. Hmmm

You can see all my gear in the vidéo, may be i have 40 more dps because i'm training a lot every day, to be fast etc... ?

I wouldn't come in here saying you do this much DPS under a different rotation from normal without visual proof. Rather it be a video of your friend parsing you or what not. Especially since some have found faults in your rotation already.

I am on PS4 and the odd lag but not so much so that i would use Shuriken over Raiton. It is not the hardware but your connection me thinks.
Shuriken is situational agreed, but also much lower dps

A rotation with shuriken for those with laggy mudras like me. 600+ dps 3 min parse.

I'll be streaming 10-13 tonight 8PM eastern http://www.twitch.tv/zensa

Looking good. It's hard to think you have laggy mudra's when you seem to be executing mudras faster than i can lol.
