Newish Ninja looking for some answers

TBH I'm not sure if it's a strat anyone else is doing, just something that helped me. Mudra timing usually ends up such that ninjitsu comes up right on or shortly after jump, do huton while running and dodging resin, and it's up for suiton/trick attack after dancing edge when they land.

In theory it makes complete sense so I will definitely try it, and if it works for you it should work for others :P

TBH that opener is pretty much what I do (assuming you precast suiton, hope you aren't doing it the same GCD as trick attack). I have similar gear to you and my overall fight dps for a1s is usually mid to high 900s. Seems like your in fight rotation is what's letting you down, as your opener is fine, A1S requires a bit of weaving to nail those positionals. Don't be lazy and just stay where you are as the boss turns. Move with the boss's turns if required. Do trick attack as soon as it's up. Reapply huton during jumps so you're not forced to do more armor crushes than necessary.

You are being out-dps'd by a tank, something isn't right there. You say you're never able to do AE, so maybe maintaining huton is an issue and doing huton during jumps might help a bit.

To be fair, it looks like their BLM is being beaten by the tank too. And that's certainly no good. But kudos to your tank for being a solid contributor!

Yeah I was almost going to comment on the BLM too... For a blm to be the lowest dps on a single target is pretty bad too. If your team is all ganging up on you and not mentioning the blm... that isn't right.

Just try and be constructive with each other. Savage is breaking statics left right and centre.

Yeah and its not my entire group its just a select few but I guess I should also stop thinking like the raider mentality I normally have Mechanics>DPS and do the vice versa to get some of them to cool off and back away.

Anyways thanks for the feedback I now know I am low but not as low as they may think I am, and thanks for all the advice I keep checking this in case more comes.
