Great info everybody !

Though I have a question.. In terms of suiton, I use Trick Attack for my opener. Should I keep using Trick Attack for the buff against the enemy, OR use Sneak Attack for extra DPS during rotation after the opener? I'm not sure which one would be more important in which situation! Can anyone give me some insight? At the moment I'm pulling around ?330-370 dps most of the time at i105 (without B4B. gotta get on that..) but I'm wondering if substituting Trick Attack for Sneak Attack will make a monumental difference?

Any advice would be wonderful ;o;

Pretty much on bosses you're going to use TA. SA is good on things that die really fast and the full benefit of 10% vulnerability couldn't be utilized well (like on most trash/solo stuff). The 10% vulnerability debuff really nice and is far better than SA as long as you can make use of it since it's party wide.

So, probably the most accurate answer is this: If the enemy is going to survive the next 1,000 you-potency of attacks after TA/SA, use TA. How much is 1,000 you-potency? It's 10 times your uncombo'd Gust Slash or Aeolian. For my gear level, that's 10x210, or 2,100 damage. If the enemy will take more than 2,100 damage in the 10 seconds after TA/SA, I use TA. Since that's only 210 DPS. . .it's basically just a question of if they have that much HP left.
