    Samurai AOE Rotation Question

    Hey everyone, so I did my first Stormblood dungeon as a Samurai yesterday (I'm level 61) and I was wondering something about the AOE rotation:

    Should I be sure to keep the Jinpu and Shifu buffs up during the AOE rotation? I noticed last night that in doing so, I wasn't really able to get off as many AOE combos as opposed to not keeping them up.

    I would do the following:

    Hakaze>>Shifu>>Kasha>>Hakaze>>Jinpu>>Gekko>>Tenka Goken>>Fuga>>Mangetsu>>Fuga>>Oka>>Tenka Goken

    After this, I would have to begin the rotation anew so that I could keep my Jinpu and Shifu buffs up. As you can see, I was only able to use each AOE combo once before having to refresh my buffs.

    Is this the way it's done or is this a dps loss in regards to AOE? I'm totally fine with single target.

    It's more important to keep Jinpu up for the extra damage during your AoE rotation. Shifu is not, but trying to manage both kinda results in too much lost DPS.

    Throw both buffs up as tank is pulling then just focus on maintaining jinpu and kaiten tenka, if the pack is over 9 mobs you can justify not using kaiten on tenka and use the kenki on the other aoe ability (drawing a blank on name at the moment) however less then 9 mobs always kaiten tenka.
