Thread: 5.0 Wind-Up Openers

This is that one "Vaccines Cause Autism" thing that people are going to quote for YEARS. Please add to the top of your document, in BOLD that none of this is tested and its mostly just you. That disclaimer is not enough.

I only logged in to tell you that your DNC openers (especially the Improv one) are so bad they made my head hurt.
If it turns out to be stage 4 cancer I wouldn't be surprised.

0/10 bad troll.

Not even going to bother critisizing the DRK opener on the other stuff but what in heavens name is the reason for using hard slash into hard slash in those 8th GCD LS openers? You are aware that Bloodspiller doesn't break combos right? You can fit a full Delirium worth of Bloodspillers between 2 combo hits without breaking it.

Heya op.
Samurai here.
Your opener for samurai is... Not very good.
11th midare.
For one you added in hagakure which isn't worth using in a opener and just a DPS lost.
Then you use a unbuffed jinpu shinten for no reason.
Then you use meikyo to fill every sen instead of just two of them making it take longer to do the second midare.

Your 9th midare not very good as well.
You basically just cycle through your rotation then midare THEN use bana and use meikyo/tsubame?
Like I don't understand the purpose of these openers.

PSA don't use these openers if you are new. These are bad.

There's so much wrong with the DRG opener it's hysterical. Not even, actually. There's so much incorrect with this "guide" in GENERAL, it's quite something.

Thanks to feedback I've received, I've come to understand that the way I've presented my theory crafted openers was done a bit hastily. I've since edited out a lot of text and have left these as an ambiguous list of "possible" openers that people can try out rather than a guide with factual information. No extra data aside, there were indeed mistakes with some openers here and there. I will continue to update the list as I'm able to get more jobs at lvl 80 and do parse runs to see where these openers stand compared to current openers/rotations. I appreciate everyones feedback and hope to hear more info on anyone who tries these openers out of curiosity.

That almost 50% of a Jutsu lost.

Im sorry but this is absolutely terrible. If you do want trick lined up at 20seconds in there is still so much wrong with this.

If you want to actually do theory craft for this game you need to increase your understanding of every class, spend more time in the balance, and think about mathing out potency rather than feely crafting your way through things.

created an account to agree with this.

NIN feels bad as it is this expansion we don't need this opener to drag us down further!
