Perfectly fair. I never went through the NIN guides personally (ironically... I've gone through BLM and SMN and don't even have those...) everything was based on my own experience personally as well as my own insight and reading ingame descriptions. Part of why I didn't realize SF and mut snapshot the potency dmg when it's implemented.
And I do not mind arguments based around giving information. It's when they get on a personal level that it gets annoying. I just need information, not "because I said so" statements. "Do this because of this" is much more effective for me to understand. Otherwise, I will over analyze and put every what if and but statement there is to the test.
I'd be interested to hear the results of what you come up with though. It will likely be hard though as the rest of my own rotation will of course differ from yours i'm sure. I myself will have to re-evaluate my own rotation based around yours. I also vary my own based on party composition. I love having WAR's as i don't have to focus on DE as much... unless the WAR is thinking the same thing as me... and we both fail to put it up. That's always embarrassing...
