Ninja AoE

[Ilyn]

It's come to my attention through reddit ,Yt and the forums that most people use Doton through Ten Chi Jin (ability) saying it's a dps loss to use suiton/meisui and instead use 3-1-2 even while not getting the Hollow Nozuchi bonus with their first Katon . To me it doesn't make sense .

I go Doton > TCJ(2-1-3) > /weave (Meisui/Bunshin) > PK > /wve Mug/Kass > Goka > first HFM (or insert into weapon combo) > Katon > WS1/WS2/WS1 > Doton > WS2/WS1 > 2nd HFM

The reason Doton in TCJ doesn't make sense to me is
1) by not having it down at the beginning is an automatic dps loss , you'll be behind a few ticks
2) loss of 50 potency for casting Katon before Doton
3) loss of use of 2nd HFM in a timely matter by not using meisui (gonna be more prevalent when we get AOE TA)
4) loss of 80x2 potency and 10 ninki for your first AOE combo as you won't have Bunshin activated until you do 2 gcds/mug instead of going straight into it through Meisui . This way you also get your 2nd HFM a gdc faster

also you get your first HFM before ever touching you 1/2 combo with PK/mug

Sorry for listening to me ramble lol . I just needed to let out my take on it.
With DW around the corner I'd hate to see these shenanigans while I lvl up all my jobs to 100 . I feel like I've laid my case with reasonable logic

Speaking of DT rotation I'm thinking I'll try it out like this

Huton > Doton > Kunia's Bane > TCJ(2-1-3) > /weave (Meisui/Bunshin) > PK > /wve Dokumori/Kass > Goka > (insert Tenri Jindo/HFD somewhere in the next 3 gcds ) WS1/WS2/WS1 > Doton > WS2/WS1 > HFM
