NIN Opener / Rotation

[PROBOUND]

Firana Magnus has since updated his rotation and has provided 3 new videos for us to pick apart. It seems he employs at least a 10s wait before engaging for an early TA. He posted a thread on reddit so i'll just copy the info here.

Recently discovered a new opening (Credit to Maya Tatsumi from Finale on Excalibur), so decided to do some tests with it.

Gear is i118 with the i130 weapon, 3 FCoil Drops and 1 crafted piece. I think I bring up my gear in the second video.

Would like some feedback on these and see if there's anything better that could be done within the opening.

Also how do people feel on opening with DoTs vs opening with Dancing Edge (Obviously in raid scenarios you have a warrior who opens with SE).

552.08 - No Party, No Food, No X-Pots
563.16 - Party, Food, No X-Pots
581.37 - Party, Food, X-Pots

That's interesting... He opens with a fully buffed DE, TA, SF then Mutilate. He's waiting 15s after Huton, giving himself 5s to get DE up before casting Suton.

Currently, I'm opening with fully buffed Mutilate, SF, DE and last night was parsing 471 over 3:30~ @ a poorly optimized i112 with i110 weapon, no food, pots or party. I'll have to test that DE opener this evening and see what happens to that number.
