Tips to increase my DPS? Ninja

[Darkstride]

By flawless i meant i wasnt clipping dots or letting huton fall off. Completely forgot TA so thanks for that tip. Sucky thing about PS4 is limited bar space. Would not using jugulate hurt my dps alot? I can put TA where jugulate is.

Use the expanded controls (L2 + R2 and R2 + L2) on the cross-hotbar. I play on PC, but use a controller and am able to fit every ability, including a Potion on my Hotbar without issue. I have Shukuchi macro'd to R3 for quick and easy use. I do have Venoms on a separate bar only because there is little need to stance-dance while in combat. I'll add a pic of what my setup looks like when I get a chance, if that would help.

Edit: Here's my cross-hotbar. I'm no photoshop expert, so excuse the setup, I just threw it together:



My main combo abilities are all used with R2. I hold L2 if I want to combo into Shadow Fang or Dancing Edge. I have the 2 vertical hotbars on the left just so that I can see certain cooldowns at all times (and when Assassinate lights up).

Hot bar setups will be different for everyone, since it really needs to fit to your comfort and play style, but I'm simply showing this as an example that you can have every available for use. There isn't a need to sacrifice an ability (such as Jugulate, in your previous post).

Yes i do use it. Ihold R2 for my main builders too. L2 and dpad for mudras. Still not enough room for everything. Someone told me u can kb&m on ps4 so going to get those night. I used to game strictly pc so morre comfortable with that.

Expanded controls does allow you to slot all of your abilities, as I showed in the example image in my last post. You can fit every Rogue/Ninja ability, all Mudra, all cross-class and a potion on one Cross-Hotbar setup. You need a separate hotbar for basic menu functions like teleport, sprint, mounts, etc but you don't use those during combat so you don't really need those on your main hotbar.

But yes, you should be able to use Keyboard and Mouse in PS4 if thats more comfortable.

Yeah if by expanded controls you mean pressin R1 to switch pages , yeah everything can fit but definitely not on one page. Pressing R1 to page switch is just clunky. That split second it takes to switch can be life or death in end game content. Don't get me wrong though Square did an awesome job making the controller work for what would normally be a PC only MMO. Not knocking it.

Not to mention you cant move and hit Dpad bindings effectively anyways. Works for casual play and normal raids but im ready to take it up a notch

first, that isnt what expanded cross bar is. it lets you see a second cross bar, so another 16 total things. second, moving and using the dpad is surprisingly easy. you have two thumbs, use them.

That is absolute bullshit sorry to say.
For one you can use expanded controls to be able to hold L2+R2 and R2+L2 to go to another hotbar without having to do that AND you can get used to switching hotbars with R1+face or directional buttons.

I main SCH on controller and have to use 3 cross hotbars for all of my skills and I have no trouble with it with no delay caused by hotbar switching. You just have to get used to it. If you aren\\'t willing to get used to some change in how you do it then maybe KB&M would be a better fit for you

Also: since i hit the stupid limit and am on mobile so no editing.
Controller and KB&M are equal. Just because you dont know how to properly use the controller in this game and arent willing to listen doesnt mean it is useless for hardcore endgame content

First of all i didnt know that expanded controls L2+R2 could be enabled no one cared to mention it was an extra option. Second of all if youre this touchy over a forum post i have some advice for you - get some Sun.
