NIN Opener / Rotation

[treuhavik]

Not quite. doton = katon if mobs are up 18-20 seconds and are never moved out of the circle. 21 seconds is the time where it's a slight improvement, and it's kind of an unlikely situation. As far as katon vs doton positional requirements, you're in the middle of the group doing death blossoms anyway so that's a moot point.

But basically, doton is bad unless your overall dps is also bad.

Edit: also there will be cases when some mobs are up for 21 seconds and the katon still wins. If even 1 mob dies before the full duration, especially if it dies quickly, the katon on more # of mobs wins.

Thanks for supporting my point and my lolflowchart. Dim MS paint skillz doe. ;D

So far the only time I've found Doton to be of use is during add phase in Shiva Ex.

Doton > Katon > Kassatsu > Katon.

And this is exactly how I've been doing it.
