Ninja Single Target DPS Rotation - Early Attempts

[Alistaire]

It seems that Mudras are off GCD and has its own GCD of 1 s. It is similar to Lustrate of of Scholar

They definitely have to be off gcd if you're going to do ten > chi > jin > ninjutsu, all sharing recast and the ten/chi/jin status only lasts 5 seconds. 3x the recast < 5 seconds or you'd have ten wearing off before you pop ninjutsu.

Also relink: https://zyphxion.github.io/ninjutsu/ for anyone looking to practice Enjoy.

Thanks for the link :-) I also mentioned in another thread, I think, that you can memorize the mudras based on their translation and how they relate to what you're trying to cast. Example:

Ten = Heaven
Chi = Earth
Jin = Man.

So for Raiton (lightning), you do heaven, earth, ninjutsu. Lightning strikes from "heaven" down to "earth".

Katon (fire) = earth, heaven, ninjutsu. Fire burns from the ground upward.

Doton (corrupted earth) = heaven,man,earth,ninjutsu.

You get the idea.

Looks good except for kassatsu, which only makes ninjutsu crit so would be best used directly before raiton, this also gets the most efficiency out of it. I would of thought that anyway.

kassatsu's crit on next ninjutsu has 10 seconds timer on the buff. If you're worth your salt you would kassatsu, use whatever buffs that can increase your damage available within that 10 seconds and then hit the raiton.

That sounds like a very risky maneuver to me, if you make a slight hiccup on your raiton casting then that's you best CD wasted. I guess I like to play it safe, high risk play style doesn't work for me.

Depending on what damage buffs you have up anyway. You should be using them whenever they are up during the course of the fight.

I love where this thread has gone with the mudra theorycrafting. The class is shaping up nicely but seems a little similar to dragoon. I am glad that the mudras are doing a lot to keep the rotation/skillset from being too similar to dragoon.

Anyone else feel like the dubuff/DoT icons look too similar? I was about to make a thread about it but it might just be me.

For reference:

Yeah they do look alike a lot. What I did (PS4 player) was I developed a hotbar for what I thought would be comfortable for me once I got to level 50 and started building based on the final product from the beginning. So while I was leveling Rogue, I only used the cross class skills that would be available to me once I hit NIN (Protect being the one exception), and I left slot open for skills that I hadn't acquired yet. So by the time I get everything unlocked, I'll already be comfortable with where all the skills are placed, and won't have to look at them as much to figure out what's on cooldown.
