Ninja 3.5 guide: Macroing buffs/Hitting OGCDs asap

[kyorakun]

Step aside momo kyun, the new 3.5 ninja guide is here. After having read my buddy Chris Suncrust's bard guide, i have decided to share with you the most well hidden secreta of ninja. The idea is to always pop your buffs as soon as they come up and hence, you require a macro to facilitate your inability to hit 2 buttons in a go. I like to double weave blood for blood and internal release so I use a macro to help me do it more efficiently. You may argue that it eats into your next gcd but I disapprove you with my fflogs points. Here's an example of how to do it.

How the heck are NIN players able to do so much damage?

I was "following" the commands that another player was doing on a youtube video. I was near perfect with matching his move sets and everything. Outside of that, I keep my abilities (Blood for Blood) on cooldown. I'm not missing hits or auto-attacks. Hitting that Raiton each time, getting a ton of abilities in during Trick Attack.

It's like, the initial burst is high on the pull, then it drops extremely low, although I'm not letting up on attacks. Everyone says watch a guide or "I'll train you!", but that iLv249 NIN is doing more than my iLv253 NIN.

I hate that I had to drop NIN to become PLD/DRK, but I'm starting to believe that DPS just isn't for me, considering I tried BRD, then DRG, then NIN. I was NIN from it's release up until some time last year when PLD and DRK became my focus.

A lot of PF groups have missing DPS slots, but I don't want to join them and become a burden, so I wait for a tank slot.

Your parses are impressive but what's with Jugulate and DwaD before Trick Attack?
Granted, you didn't use a pot which would have delayed the two actions, I just found it a little odd considering saving them for 2 extra seconds is unlikely to yield an extra use in any given encounter.
