Ninja Single Target DPS Rotation - Early Attempts

[JakzChurchill]

Tough to say for sure. It does look like ninja dps will be very sustained. There are not a lot of huge buffs like blood for blood 30% that would cause it to be as bursty as dragoon. From an armor and balance perspective, i would expect ninja and monk to be very similar in terms of ST DPS. Both will be medium armor type and melee. The other deal is that we don't know what the passives are going to look like yet. They could completely change all of this
.

Damn I forgot about BfB and IR, are these best use before SATA, or in a combo?

And is it even viable to open a fight in hide for TA, or will the slow movement speed cause you to lose dps, added to that will hide count your party in combat or just you?

I just can't wait to start messing about with it, i can see my cross hot bars ending up like scholar using macros to cycle through different sets, in this case to macro the ninjutsu to set changes as opposed to wait macros.

haha so many questions and we don't seem to have any answers yet. Another one I have is if combat is exited during a phase of coil (when bosses are untargetable) will ninjas be able to reenter stealth and then get a stealth opener off? If so, they could have a slight advantage in fights that have combat drop sections, which is pretty cool considering no other classes reall have this! I am ready to start doing some testing too!
