Posts I've read on readdit indicate that the +50% bonus on the next weaponskill actually applies to the entire duration of the dot on the single sen Iaijutsu.



Firstly, asking these types of questions would probably be better the their respective role subforum.
You're likely to get more knowledgeable people answering, and it won't get buried as fast.



I've only gotten to 54 myself, but I've been experimenting while playing with it...
I like popping the use any skill out of combo
followed by the 2 buff skills and slashing resist down.
That'll give you the attack speed buff, damage buff, put slashing resist down on the enemy and give you 1 sen for the dot Iaijutsu.

That dot has a 60 second duration, it lasts a long while.
I then typically go through my combos, keeping the buffs and debuffs up while doing the 3 sen iaijutsu when I can.

Do note, Iaijutsu does not cancel your combos.
So you can to 1 or 2 steps in the combo and use Iaijutsu to use up your sen and then get another back.
