Ninja Rotation/Dots

[Xerxus___]

Hi Guys

I am currently doing ninja, switched now from WAR to dps. My question is l, is Mutilate a must? I use shadow fang and dancing edge since it gives me a split second more to use Aeoilan edge. Ill say before hand i am not as experienced as you guys so please if i u get an eye soar if i am no using using skills correctly, than i am sorry. Im trying to learn it as best as possible.

Thank you in Advance.

I'm pretty sure every Dot on any DPS is a must. I really don't agree that every DPS should be, but that's how it is

Mutilate is a power of 60 with a DoT of 30 for 30 seconds.
Dots tick every 3 seconds, making it 10 ticks.
Over all the dmg of the skill is 360 for only one GCD, modified by both Dancing edge and poisons. (not to mention trick attack)

That said, it's one of your most powerful weapon skills.

Okei so should i do it like this: Dancing edge--->shadow fang--->Mutilate-->blood for blood--->Internal release--->trick attack--->duality--->Aeolian edge--->Raiton--->Kassatsu--->Raiton?

Hmm. Honestly? My rotation is

DE > B4B/IR > Trick attack > Shadow Edge > Mutilate

I then weave mug, Dream within a Dream, and mudra attacks in there.

Trick attack is usually off by the time Aeolian edge comes up, but the other 2 buffs are still doing so I'll duality it.

Open with Sutton >spinning heel > jugulate > gust slash > internal release > kassatsu > dancing edge > blood for blood > spinning heel > trick attack > shadow fang > Rainton > spinning heel > dream within a dream > gust slash > duality > a. Edge > mug > mutilate.

Should be able to get mutilate in right before trick attack drops. You won't have internal release for aeolian but as far as I'm aware duality cannot crit. So having ir up for it is a waste

Keeping dots up is easier with a warrior because you don't need that 6 second window to refresh dancing edge. Which can be problematic when your dots have 5-6 seconds left. Which happens every few cycles. So you either clip things quite heavily or let something drop for a few seconds.

Possibly not the most optimal rotation. Sure some guy out there has done some number crunching and worked out something better or more mainstream than something I concocted myself
