Ninja: Walk in shadow.

I don't have ninja yet but how about this rotation
Huton xpot Saiton b4b TA IR dots kassatsu raiton the combo 123, is that a viable good opening.

At first glance, I'd say you have too many oGCD abilities next to each other.

Ok how would you fix that? And making sure that the dots will b buff. Also DE help dots from the debuff u get from DE

Dancing Edge does nothing to dots, only the initial hit.

Well I still have 5 more days before I get home. So hopefully by then the ninja will have both burst and regular rotation. I've watch YouTube videos of a 450 dps nin but it was blurry and the moves was not written down so it was hard to see and fallow which move is being use.

Aside from Mutilate, your DoTs come from your GCD combos. So you should weave your oGCD stuff in between your combos. The general consensus so far is that Huton should be up before the tank pulls. I've never been much for using potions (I have enough inventory management problems as is), BUT I would say Huton...then IR->Spinning edge->B4B->Gust Slash->X-pot->Dancing Edge->Suiton->Mutilate->Trick Attack->Spinning Edge->Kassatsu->Shadow Fang->Raiton.

This is just an example. I need to double check my buff times, but I THINK this will let you get Trick Attack off with all your attack buffs active, allowing for maximum potency. There's a post on another thread where somebody has this more figured out I think. Not sure if they included IR and B4B, but you get the idea.

Yeah I like to use pots since I like big numbers but I like ur rotation pretty nice appreciate ur help. Could u post that rotation from another thread I'd like to read that. Besides raiton huton Saiton kassatsu. What other ninjutsu are use and for what reason they are used.

[Butcherboy]

At shaolin Mike how do u open with ur ninja in boss and what numbers do u get on like a dummy lets say 5 min

I'm on PS4 so I don't have a parser. I'm far from the best ninja in game so far, but if u go back a couples pages in this thread, there's a guy who posted his rotation and said she's doing close to 400 DPS. I was just using his rotation and adding in your x-potion basically.

[Butcherboy]

Ok I'll look into it

^ ^ :P

But back on topic I don't think anyone has got the hang of Ninja just yet, it's incredibly difficult to play in a raid enviroment, there's so much going on to try and get a rotation going that as soon as you need to switch targets its incredibly difficult to work out what you should be going back to.

A lot of the playerbase will probably play this for the challenge, but it'll probably lead to a lot of tunnel visioning in the early days while we watch those cooldown timers like a hawk.
