Learning How To Be A Ninja

i did 3 rounds of what i interpreted of what you would be doing for opener + my own optimization in the later rotation regarding CD usage


they were 1549, 1554, and 1590 respectively, over 3 and half minutes, ending after i dish out another set of TA + 90s offgcd burst
note the 1590 parse had both trick attacks crit for 4.8k which inflated the numbers
non of the initial AEs crit'd

opener was suiton-se(kassatsu+ir)-gs(b4b)-de(jug)-se(ta)-gs(raiton)-ae(dream)-se(mug)-gs(duality)-ae
observed burst was around 2.4k

the problem here however, is that after your DAE, there is 6 seconds left on DE and 4 seconds remaining on b4b while ir has long expired.
I chose to throw my dots up as they would still benefit from b4b thanks to snapshots, but after that i had to do a full 3 gcd without slashing debuff, which killed me a little
so even even ignoring the dps loss from dots within TA, the fact that you have to drop DE for a bit or apply dots without any buff makes this inoptimal.

following the standard rotation with my own optimizations, i land 1640+ over the same duration consistently.
i can make a video if you want, but i cant figure out how to record the parse side by side and im weary of the forum ban that may follow it, so take what you will.

Also, most of the recent posts have gotten to a point I can no longer follow along.

Welcome to the forums, where things spin wildly out of control by the time you reach page 2 lol.

^^; sorry we kinda hijacked your topic. Eventually these things will make sense to you as they are relevant to end game content and maximizing your dmg rotation.

Xenon - Thanks for checking the numbers. Even though the numbers were infact lower, I am happy to see they are still infact high, even if not optimal. No need to video it or anything, I appreciate you checking it personally.
