FFXIV Ninja Week 2 Clear: P5S Proto-Carbuncle | Rank 1 | 10794 rDPS

Run from September 9th. Patch 6.2 run with static for speed practice.
ilvl 626. 635 weapon. 7:17 kill time.

We all got on our mains and started practicing speed stuff. We are 6/8 weapons, one is tome 630 weapon. Nothing technical yet just getting a feel for optimized rotations for a projected kill time once we're all BiS.

If you're watching this and trying to use it to optimize your own play, I actually wouldn't recommend using my opener. Unless the group you're running with is trying to fit a 2 min burst before Devour, this rotation isn't going to be too useful to you. If you're interested anyway, I'm experimenting with a double weave after the opening suiton. While it clips heavily, it does allow me to push my entire opening burst forward so that I can get more cooldowns in before the boss becomes untargetable during Devour.

There's an unfortunate mishap during the 6 min burst where I'm still not sure where to place my TCJ yet. But looking at the footage there's definitely space to use it safely. Not only that, but during the 2 min burst I actually push my TCJ back a gcd for Double Rush. If I can finesse Double Rush and keep everything on cooldown, then TCJ will be up sooner for both the pre-Devour burst and the Ruby Glow 5 burst. The 2 min burst is seriously technical though and very sensitive to any errors. : /
