NIN Opener / Rotation

[Aiurily]

yeah, i think a lot of people were using something quite similar for a suiton opener (http://goo.gl/f3NCWe). the ideal time to pull at is 5s left on ninjutsu, but you'd be starting your chain at around 4s (otherwise you're waiting a little bit after dancing edge for ninjutsu to come up) you use DE first instead of dots first since it aligns better in general with the rotation

if you plan to not use or save the x-pot, you can move IR up to be after GS to get the next AE to benefit from the 10% crit from it. otherwise you'd have to IR prepull to find a spot to fit that x-pot in. anyway, overall you get one set of fully buffed dots up during ta, and ta up about 8.5s into the pull. some missed windows for some of the first dot applications for some classes, but i think a lot of classes also refresh their dots in that 10s debuff timeframe

honestly, in a 3m-4m parse, your opening rotation isn't going to vastly affect your dps imo. as long as it's somewhat acceptable logically (potency wise generally), any optimized opener in a huton wait category (cast on pull, 15s, 10s, 5s) that would increase your personal dps by more than 1% (like a lucky crit streak can) would be surprising to me. it's why i mentioned in the first few pages of the thread that it's best to just adjust your opener to benefit your raid's dot applications/burst/reapplication the most; working your TA around your raid's burst/dot application windows is the best dps contribution overall imo
