NIN Opener / Rotation

[Cynric]

snip

First we'll go with the huton question. 70s from huton 50s = Suiton reset CD with Kassatsu = Raiton @ 40 s, 20 s ish = Next mudra Raiton @ 20s with a CD of 20 s your huton will expire if you do it too late at this point during your normal GCD rotation slightly before huton can be reapplied. This is using my rotation of course. I timed everything to be pretty much up at the same time but there isn't any leeway in doing anything, if you mess up the timers will get thrown off.

Next to mutilate and shadow vs the mrhappy rotation you're using. First off the rotation you posted requires 15s? before pull, mine only needs 10 and has a full 20 second window either way, next I still get all my full buffs up with my dots and my full damage combo, plus the dancing reapply will be just barely on if you do it fast enough. So nothing falls off at all.

16s before Mutilate is reapplied, 10 s before Shadow Fang is reapplied. So you get more damage out of that. Mutilate 210 pot before reapply, 320 pot on Shadow Fang before reapply, 150 pot on the Spin, not to mention I get zero wasted buff time plus dots up before I even buff my 2nd set of dots and my full damage combo.

Wasting buff time by just throwing them up is never a good idea =/

You waste however much time without hitting the mob with early buffs, plus you could get a full 720 potency out before even using Trick , Kass, Rai, Sui, Blood, IR, and having all of your moves buffed by everything even a potion if you want.

basically my rotation does everything yours does but without wasting any up time on buff/debuff/potion/OGCD/GCD/ The burst just starts a few seconds later but wastes nothing.
