NIN Opener / Rotation

[Sleigh]

When we parse our Ninjas we count from the first move cast. The cast of Huton initiates the parse, if you are waiting the 10 - 20 secs before attacking that should be included into the number as zero DPS. That's 10-20 seconds of no dps. Otherwise you are legitimately loading the number to a very circumstantial degree. Most situations do not allow you to stand there and wait for your cool down and for all intents this should be counted against your dps. From an objective context any move that results in unsheathing your weapon should be counted as the initiation of a parse.

From an objective context any attack should be counted as the initiation of a parse, not any action. Not a buff. Enrage timer starts upon first attack, DPS checks for phase pushes start at first attack, the MP lifeblood of your healers starts at first attack ... not when you unsheathe your weapon.

You can realistically do anything you want before a tank pull, buff wise. Huton 15s before pull, pre-buff if you're into that. No reason why you should mandate that's part of your DPS.
