Ninja Single Target DPS Rotation - Early Attempts

[JakzChurchill]

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.

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.

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 don't know if anyone notice. In the 2.4 patch preview trailer, it seems that the Ninja use 3 Ninjutsus at the same time.
It looks like he used kassatsu between the first and second ninjutsu. Is it possible that Kassatsu give you ability to cast as many Ninjutsu during its duration?
Or they just probably remove the Cd of mudras for demo purposes

Since being detected breaks stealth, and certain enemies have special sight, I doubt opening Hide-> TA will be optimal, but if TA is wanted/needed for an opening, it would be Suiton -> TA.

Interested to know how

Trick Attack, Sneak Attack and Shukuchi will work since one of the Mudra buffs let's you use those skills outside of Hiding.

i.e. Trick Attack -> Perfect Dodge -> Blink to Front -> Sneak Attack

Sneak Attack and Trick Attack share cooldown so cant do that.
Its one or the other.

@Judge_Xero you're on the right track except for what Fue said. Also, keep in mind the Trick Attack's 10s damage buff benefits the entire party, so it would actually be superior to Sneak Attack. That being said, you wouldn't really need to Sneak Attack -> Shikuchi, unless the enemy was low on HP. In that case, you could do something like Perfect Dodge -> Move to Front -> Sneak Attack ->Shikuchi -> Assassinate. I still think that Trick Attack is the safer option, but teleporting adds tons of fun factor :-)

Thanks for the reply. I missed that part about Trick/Sneak Attack. Guess I skimmed the notes too quick.

Mostly just saw 400 Potency F-Yeah, 500 Potency, Oh baby.

Does the 10% damage buff could benefit Limit Break ?

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.
