You want to be using Shinten fairly often, as a matter of fact, when you're around 40 kenki or over. The only exception to the above is if you're saving up for a Guren. In addition, the earliest you want to apply Yukikaze is at the 8th GCD, as part of your first Meikyo.

Oh? So... can you elaborate about this? How do you do your opener? I'm curious, since the earliest time I use Meikyo Shisui is after the 8th GCD, right after doing a 3-Sen Hagakure.

So you 3 sen a Hagakure every 40 sec?

Yup! This is in order to perform as many Hissatsu: Shiten as possible. For whenever you want to use Hagakure, your Kenki gauge should be at least less than 40.

3-Sen Hagakure

Do you happen to have your dps number? I am rather puzzle every time I tried to Hagakure 3 sen my dps dropped are you hitting 4.6k?

Kasha combo, Haga, Gekko combo, Kaiten+Banana, Meikyo+Yuki, Guren+Kasha, Gekko, Kaiten+Midare. The oGCD's precede the GCD's in that, but the idea is to get Higanbana up ASAP with the Jinpu buff, something you'd have to delay if you go yuki first because Yuki has no effect on Banana's DoT, while Jinpu does.

• 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!

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

Janhyua thats what I thought as well yet I must be doing something wrong with my rotation for not being able to destroy the EX dummy quick enough :/

I'm doing my best to make use of Hagakure in order to pull off as many Hissatsu: Shiten as possible while maintaining a high Kenki Gauge for Hissatsu: Guren. And no, it's not a spammable skill; it has a 40s cooldown. It also has the additional benefit of more control over Sen management.

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 :/

Hmm. It probably is. I have a hunch that you do manage your Kenki (else it'll stay at 100) for Shiten. There are probably more questions in my mind right now, but here's what I'd try, after reading your response:

I would try prioritizing Hagakure over using Midare Setsugekka, pull off as many Shiten as possible, while keeping the Kenki gauge of at least 35? Don't forget the positional Kenki bonus for Gekko and Kasha, and don't forget to pull off Guren as well.

My best pro tip is you put your kaiten, Midare, shinten these 3 button are your core and will be using often I put

Midare on Q and shintens on E and kaiten at 1 on my hot bar so I can hit them easily

Kasha opener hagakure jinpu guren higanbana.
And always use hagakure when ready on 3 sens its the prioritization to spam Shinten, the attack that gives u more dps after higanbana. When u dont habe hagakure save use ur 3 sens into kaiten midare
