NIN Opener / Rotation

[Shneibel]

No. Doton have no use in single target battles.

isnt that the same as say Shadow Flare have no use in single target battle (assume boss fight)?

Doton : Potency 30, 24s
Shadow Flare: Potency 25, 30s

it is as good as Shadow Flare, I don't know why you say it is not worth it

My opening:

Huton (mandatory)
Blood for Blood
Shadow fang -> Multilate -> Internal Release
Dancing edge (Aeoilian Edge)
(Doton)
Aeoilian Edge (sneak in Suiton & Trick Attack if not use Doton early)
