Samurai rotation at 70 help please

[Shizzle]

Hello,

First I've been trying to dig some info out for optimal rotation for Samurai for EX modes I have no issues with Omega 1-4 but the EX mode of Susano :/ I've been testing my dps out on the EX dummy at Stone,Sky Sea and am getting it down to 10% before failing the timer.

Am I being critical of myself here or should I optimally be aiming at destroying the target completely for the EX dummy?

What is your ilevel

[Janhyua]

Your accessory are lacking it's not i320

But overall your gear seems fine to do susano extreme dummy

[Shizzle]

My ilvl currently is 310

So should I be trying to do lakshmi EX for the 320 Accessories first?

I will give you my simple opener

I am on my phone now so the skill name might not be correct wording so I am sorry

Kasha combo >> Hagakure
Gekko combo >> Kaiten >> banana >> miko >> ice >> Kasha >> gekko >> kaiten Midare >> guren

As for the follow up always go for 3 sen kaiten Midare and never ever use Hagakure for guren it's a dps lost and always keep the DoT up and spend you ki and don't let your guren unused for too long and your dps will be 4.4k at i314 fully meld

Sorry had to edit the post there fixed the rotation forgot to add in a extra Gekko

Imo, I think it should be possible to destroy the target completely (meaning you deal enough DPS for the raid) even with the minimum iLvL, although at such level one must be doing a heck lot of DPS burden, so it's... understandable at best. I'll just share to you questions I'd ask myself for times like these. Hopefully this helps!

• What's your rotation? How about a video of it?
• Have you tried a different opener? (Something like 1-sen opener or 2-sen Hagakure opener instead of forcing it to 3-sen)
• Do you use Hagakure often? (It should be the priority over using Midare whenever it's off the cooldown)
• How many Hissatsu: Shiten can you pull off?
• Do you keep Kaiten + Higanbana up?
• Do you always manage to use Kaiten in every Midare Setsugekka?
• Do you always keep every 2 buff and 1 debuff (Yukikaze) up?

Edit: iLvL 310 eh? It should be more than enough. Keep trying!

Ok I always open up with Kasha opener for the speed buff then from there hakaze into yukikaze then kaiten + higanbana then from there I add onto my hakaze jinpu into gekko so I have both the damage and speed buff as well as the slash down and dot on target I do try to use guren as often as it is up as well as 3 zen kaiten midare setsugekka . I however am trying to figure out where in my rotation to fit Shiten in as I usually dont use Shiten alot :/ Is it because of not using Shiten that often really causing such a large decrease in DPS that has me worried if so :/

I am rather interested to know how you use your Hagakure as spamming Hagakure needlessly is actually a dps lost
