Tips to increase my DPS? Ninja

[Slappah]

First off

Stop assuming your rotation is perfect

Especially so if you're this new to the game

Accept you are most likely making mistakes, and work to improve.

Take criticism, pay attention, read/watch guides

Maybe get someone in game to walk you through it

Get on voice chat and have them give you detailed rundowns, have them watch you in a fight or on a dummy

Record yourself, upload it, have people critique your play

Don't assume your absolutely awesome (not saying you are doing this) but accept that you are new and it will take time to learn. Practice practice practice.

I admitted to not using TA if you had any reading comprehension you would know that means i stand corrrected there. But again Huton or dots did not drop no were clipped

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.

You aren't reading what I suggested. Expanded controls allow extra slots to be used by holding either R2+L2 together or L2+R2 together. You may have to enable expanded hotbar under the settings menu.

Again, I illustrated this in the image I posted of my own hotbar setup.

I dont care where you have yoour buttons I went in game and pressed L2+R2 and nothing happened. If you wanted to be helpful you would've told me that expanded controls are an extra option and where to locate it.

Now that i've replied to all the trolls i'm done with this thread. THANKS AGAIN ARKENNE YOURE THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT IT! And thanks to the the latebloomer trolls that dropped by to show some slime.

Tribal, I know you may not read this but Darkstride's tip was legit.

The expanded crosshotbar is not a setting that goes by default, so you have to enable it in your Character Configuration option menu.
The expanded crosshotbar allows you to always see the skills of another set without going to said set specifically by pressing both triggers.

For example, I have many of my skills on set 3 and 1, usually I am on set 3 for single trigger press (L2 or R2 alone).
However I made it so pressing L2 and then R2 would show me the skills on set 1 left side, while R2 followed by L2 shows me the skills I placed on set 1 right side.

This method enables you 32 skills shortcuts without actually changing sets, which would be a split second.

Thanks. At no point was I trying to troll the thread. I had suggested the Expanded Hotbar, and the following response was "yes I do use it". I assumed he knew what I was referring to, otherwise I would have explained it more in-depth. Simply a misunderstanding. It seems the OP knows now what I was referring to and how to utilize it. Good luck with your NIN!

I play on PS4 as well, and I swear by expanded hold controls. I have a visible hotbar on my screen to constantly view my longer cooldowns- watching things this way does wonders. I recommend all controller NINs consider this advice.

[ShaolinMike]

Exactly this. Expanded crossbars for access to all your skills, and visible hotbars to monitor cooldowns that are not on your main crossbar. Makes like much easier.

I chose to finish Anima for the 230 weapon. I won't be able to upgrade to Torrent since I'm not Savage-savvy yet.

You don't have to do Savage to get the Torrent Kris. You can trade in 7 Midan Gears from Burden of the Son normal. However, if you haven't started collecting them already, it's a little late now.
