The Ninja Superthread

[Aiurily]

feel like either way, by the 3rd TA your BFB is gonna start not lining up with TA no matter what you do if you're keeping the order of huton>suiton>raiton

if you move the order to huton>suiton>raiton you end up delaying ta and eventually a possible kassatsu by 20s, probably not worth it

Thanks for sharing that, Leggerless! OP updated with "DoT Effects" and note on NIN/DE added.

No problem, man.

This is a general Ninja thread, just like the Dragoon: A Rotation Reborn (new thread soon)...

That's news to me; is it the same person remaking it or another person inheriting it?

Welcome to most MMO's. The good looking gear is very far in between in levels and all the highly designed gear is at 50. If you needed something to glamour, you can get the Foestriker's set that all pieces drop from Satasha, Tam-Tara, and Copperbell. There is also the lv.35 set that looks cool that drops from Brayflox. Low level armor is kind of designed to motivate you to get to 50 to get the "cool looking gear".

Yep. Pretty neat strategy if you ask me; provide a person a somewhat bad looking option, then present them a better option that they have to play to get. Heartless? Maybe. Revenue-generating? You can bet so.

Anyways, I need to frequent the forums more often; lot of good information popped up while I was away

Great info everybody !

Though I have a question.. In terms of suiton, I use Trick Attack for my opener. Should I keep using Trick Attack for the buff against the enemy, OR use Sneak Attack for extra DPS during rotation after the opener? I'm not sure which one would be more important in which situation! Can anyone give me some insight? At the moment I'm pulling around ?330-370 dps most of the time at i105 (without B4B. gotta get on that..) but I'm wondering if substituting Trick Attack for Sneak Attack will make a monumental difference?

Any advice would be wonderful ;o;

Pretty much on bosses you're going to use TA. SA is good on things that die really fast and the full benefit of 10% vulnerability couldn't be utilized well (like on most trash/solo stuff). The 10% vulnerability debuff really nice and is far better than SA as long as you can make use of it since it's party wide.

So, probably the most accurate answer is this: If the enemy is going to survive the next 1,000 you-potency of attacks after TA/SA, use TA. How much is 1,000 you-potency? It's 10 times your uncombo'd Gust Slash or Aeolian. For my gear level, that's 10x210, or 2,100 damage. If the enemy will take more than 2,100 damage in the 10 seconds after TA/SA, I use TA. Since that's only 210 DPS. . .it's basically just a question of if they have that much HP left.

Welp. I don't come on the Official Forums much, I'm more of a Reddit guy.

However today I managed to record my near-record striking dummy parse, hitting 596.14 when I ran out of TP.

Honestly, you're better off staying here if you're after more insightful posts/discussion and people who don't dismiss other peoples idea's based on opinionated bias. The FFXIV subreddit is horrible sometimes.
