Odo when'd you start playing NIN?

Mad jelly of your smooth mudras and ability to seamlessly do two off gcds without delaying anything.

IMO it's more important to get SF and Mutilate up within TA than it is AE due to their higher potencies. With mudra delay you risk losing that last attack while still having all your buffs up. Of course, if you always get the last hit in within TA timing 100% of the time that's a non-issue, but if you keep your smooth mudra casts even in instance I want to know your secret. Other benefit is reduced burst, which is bad for sexy parsing numbers and epeen, but better for real world applications.

Anyway it's pretty much identical to the opener I posted earlier and have slightly modified now (BfB > SE > IR > GS > X-Pot > DE > Suiton > SE > TA+Kassatsu > SF > Raiton > Mutilate > Mug > SE > jug > GS > AE) except you prioritize AE over the dots and switch suiton and x-pot in order (which as far as I can tell makes no difference in effect).
