The Ninja Superthread

[Odowla]

Odo when'd you start playing NIN?

Mad jelly of your smooth mudras and ability to seamlessly do two off gcds without delaying anything.


Anyway it's pretty much identical to the opener I posted earlier and have slightly modified now (BfB > SE > IR > GS > X-Pot > DE > Suiton > SE > TA+Kassatsu > SF > Raiton > Mutilate > Mug > SE > jug > GS > AE) except you prioritize AE over the dots and switch suiton and x-pot in order (which as far as I can tell makes no difference in effect).
IMO it's more important to get SF and Mutilate up within TA than it is AE due to their higher potencies. With mudra delay you risk losing that last attack while still having all your buffs up. Of course, if you always get the last hit in within TA timing 100% of the time that's a non-issue, but if you keep your smooth mudra casts even in instance I want to know your secret. Other benefit is reduced burst, which is bad for sexy parsing numbers and epeen, but better for real world applications.

Ive found this one is more consistent, the only buff that falls off is TA before i get the dots up, but the second application of TA has B4B up on it to make up for it - I usually am able to get both dots up for that. I also think the only thing that really matters is that potion is up for Trick attack - as long as it is up, it will be fine.

Also my Ninja has always needed food for FCoB - Especially so once I got the t11 head.

I do keep them like that in instance - the trick is WTFast, like a lot of people already use. Using this opener I managed get end at 498 on t11 - which is very high considering I did not have the t11 head yet, and that I only have played ninja in that fight once.
