In any case, fflogs' rdps rankings have no idea any of this is going on, and it's a not-trivial blind spot.
Yeah... because Trick attack now goes out really late of the 7th GCD compared to before when it came out on the 4th GCD. If you are running a Ninja your rotation can become awkward on the opener if you are used to not having a ninja. Its one of those issues where you have relearn an entire opener because 1 class decides not to line up all other raid buffs that are going off sooner.
