The Ninja Superthread

[treuhavik]

U mind testing this rotation that I have been using? Huton (20 sec wait) suiton SE b4b gs ir de xpot se ta sf kass mut raiton se jug gs mug ae. This is what I open with any boss fight. It was posted in other ninja thread but I don't think it has been tested really.

I'm really liking this opener. Much less stressful to execute as long as you don't try to squeeze in a 2nd raiton. Just cast Huton while your mages cast SS and Protect. You've got roughly 35 seconds to get Suiton and Kass/Raiton off before Huton needs refreshing. The best part? If I crit AE during that opening TA debuff, it's eeeasily over 700 burst and finishes just above the other openers around 500 DPS. These are the same numbers I used to get from my old opener, which included LOTS of Assasinates. I'm going to keep playing with this for a while and see how much it improves.

Huton (wait 20) > Suiton > SE > BfB > GS > Mug > DE > IR > SE > TA > SF > Kassatsu > Mutilate > Raition > SE > Jugulate > GS > AE

This one was an accident durring testing but it gave me slightly higher burst, RNG maybe, but just as effective.

Numbers seem very high for your gear, but perhaps it's due to this. Please don't spam Assassinate, it completely skews the results in a terrible way. Shouldn't even use it at all when testing a rotation.

Yes, numbers from my old opener were inflated by Assassinate, what I just posted wasn't, yet they're the same values. That's the point I'm trying to make.
