any chance this still holds up in Tera Starscape now? I've seen a lot (mostly on console) of IH rotations involving pulling off 5 BH and no FA, and way less BS LOTW, including a guide dated dec 2022. But jsut because it's newer doesn't necessarily mean it's better, so I'm curious how this compares.

I'm fairly sure you can use QA instead of DC+Skyfall between BS casts to fit it into 2.0 proc and also have your last BS fit into that (DC power proc and reverse skyfall just isn't as worth it imo) Also I find smokebomb off cd useless since it can be used for the further usage of BS+BH and you burn @ 3:20~ anyway considering you have a lancer (the only "actual" tank :kapp:) What is your ping btw? I mean are you using ngsp or pingremover
2.0 proc timing is something that no one can control. In this recording it just happened to activate on the LOTW usage but it can proc as early as the 1st hit of DC and the buff will then end as early as after HFA if that happens, which renders the suggestion invalid. In addition, trying to fit in QA chain right there will result in additional delay compared to DC and reverse SF (you have to do something like: QA>CT>QA>RSF to create distance) which will then make it harder to use 3x IB in IH and fit in the 3rd IB + 2nd HBH before brooch expires, so I think it is not worth having a weaker 2nd HBH cast potentially just to try fit in a QA within 2.0 proc when the proc timing itself is an uncertain factor. Smokebomb have to be used almost off cd if the ninja plans to use IH off cd as well or else the timing of the IH and smokebomb wouldn't fit. 5:00 fight duration CAHM encounters are pretty common nowadays and with that kind of fight timing, using IH and smoke off CD yields higher DPS (CD of IH is roughly 2:25). If the nature of the fight is such that it is better for the ninja to use IH at the 3:05 mark to sync with GS/AR (which is the timing if lancer weapon swaps), then what you suggested will be better indeed. 10 ping without any skill emulation script.
@@felt3511 See no problem with fitting everything stated in my comment, in addition, your HBH is easy to fit into brooch if u pop it right after cancelling IB with smoke. You should consider it, or at least try, bet you could do that easily also what I meant is that smoke bomb can be used at either 1:20 / 2:25 (right as when IH is ready), but at least you'll fit full BH and BS into it @ 1:15-25 mark or so, not so sure about the cooldown though. kabedon.moongourd.com/eu/upload/3104/1000/1/98836785811408067 there were also runs with over 52 skyfall but lacking double cut which affects power uptime, idk, I personally think it pays off way more
@@wishiwasoriginal I can say that it won’t fit, with 100% certainty, unless you play exclusively with a lancer tank. I tailored my setup in the recording to replicate the attack speed that I get from an actual boss encounter with a warrior tank and I only barely managed to fit in the last cast of BS within 2.0 buff, and this is considering that the 2.0 proc at an extremely good timing, neither early nor too late. If I did what you suggested, yes I can fit in QA chain, but no I can’t fit in the last BS cast within 2.0 no matter what and my IB usage will be delayed which snowballs into more DPS loss in the form of either late IB>HBH or HBH without IB to fit that in before brooch buff ends. Using HBH to start off the burn instead of BS brings with it another set of problem revolving having part of your 1st HBH being used to proc 2.0 instead of ensuring that all 18 hits are under the effect of 2.0. This approach only doesn’t make a difference if 2.0 proc early with either DC or IB, but having it proc that early is a bad enough scenario already and it doesn’t make much sense to change the order on the fly just to react to an early 2.0 proc. That’s why you don’t see any other half decent ninja out there start their burn with HBH. All in all, I feel that all this discussion on “fitting in extra stuff within 2.0 buff aside from the main skills” is more of a nitpick rather than something that actually makes any difference at all. In the recording, my 2nd smoke bomb was cast right after expending BH and about 10s before my next BS is available. Delaying 10s more will make it not sync with the IH at the end. Saving smoke for 10s just to boost out-of-burn BS and as a result, having no smoke boost for the 1st part of the next IH is DPS loss rather than a gain. The ninja in the moongourd log that you linked is probably the best ninja player around with high hpms in every skill. But in a 5mins fight, he only had 2 usages of IH. The implication is that it’s natural for him to have high 48 SF hpm and 29 BH hpm because the longer the time you spent out of IH, the higher will be the SF/BH hpm because you don’t have to prioritize putting HBH/HFA on CD and end up not using SF even though it is available. Normal BH casts can’t be used in IH as well which explains the high hpm.
@@felt3511 The thing is that it's me in the log and since the transfer to eu I am forced to use pingremover/sp cause I wont be able to perform well with my 50 ping. You're right about the smokebomb, but my point is that it will come by 2:25 anyway, also you are not using it before casting IH, since you have to 10 BH first into 2 avalanche and only then IH HBH HFA etc Also about the skyfall thing, I find it rather random since its either between 48 and 54 with the usage of 3rd IH, thing is that you can not only reverse skyfall but dc+skyfall left/right from the bosses back, which makes u maintain your hpms while not missing anything during IH Just my personal thoughts about minmaxing and I might be wrong, idk :)
@@wishiwasoriginal I played on NA before with 230 ping. From my experience, only CT > reset QA chain gets affected by ping, other skills remain similar regardless of ping as long as you use something like SP. 2nd IH timing (off CD) can be around 2:30 too assuming human error and boss mechs, so the smoke can be delayed a bit, but it’ll still be a rather tight fit. 10 BH into 2 FA can only happen if you have BH available before using IH. Either that or you delay the IH slightly, so that it’s not strictly 2:25~2:30, but somewhere around 2:35~2:40 instead to wait for BH to go off CD and maximize BH hpm. If I combine this idea with your suggestion on delaying smoke usage, then everything works out well and this is honestly a really good idea as long as the fight duration is not strictly 5:00! It’ll work out well if the fight lasts for around 5:20~5:30. Thanks for making me realize that. I think the variance in SF hpm also largely depends on what the boss decides to do which in turn can affect how much damage you’re able to face tank and just DPS without dodging, but 48-54 on Lumikan is already extremely top tier and not many players can achieve that consistently. And yeah I’m aware that DC/SF to the side works too, but I’m not accustomed to pressing side keys + SF so if I have to do that, I tilt the camera to the side instead. I also found out that all 3 hits of SF can be registered as long as your character is in close melee range of the boss, so it shouldn’t be that much different from attacking to the side compared to the back. Thanks for your input, it made me realize stuffs that I didn’t consider before.
No I don’t. Lancer is mostly about understanding boss patterns and figuring out how to fit in skills without putting yourself in unfavorable situations, I don’t think a written guide for that class will help too much.

Hello. Nice to find in 2021 some guide. Good Job. I would be glad if u could help me. Gonna play again in tera. Ninja vs Warrior. What u think. I am Looking for good dps and some fun.
Hey, late reply here but I have not been keeping up with the DPS meta of TERA. Warrior has a steeper learning curve, higher skill cap and generally take a lot more effort to be good at than Ninja. I'd say just try both and main whichever class you enjoy.
CS as in Circles of Steels right? I don't think there was any buff to this skill in recent patches (correct my if I'm wrong), so this skill still remains subpar for good reasons. To include this skill into the rotation, you'd have to invest 4-9 glyph points to make it barely viable. Add to the fact that it has low crit rate and that the bulk of the damage output of this skill is loaded into the last hit and not evenly distributed. So if the last hit does not crit or you have to cancel the skill early, you'd wasted time that could have been made use of to fit in one more high damage Skyfall instead. This skill will never be good enough to worth considering unless the developer buff its crit rate. That's what I think at least.
@@felt3511 I used to have the same thought (you can refer to my video for FAHM. However, I realized that CS may account for 4-6% of my total DPS, while auto will only account for 1% or less. In addition, using CS wont affect much for HPM for skyfall and Double Cut. So I think it is worth investing in glyph points in CS... OF coz CS is the least prioritized . just slightly higher than LOTW and Auto... :)
@@f4f0035 Lumikan Normal Mode is almost as sandbag as Training Ground Crab. A good ninja player like 161 can certainly push for roughly 10 more SF and 15 more QA hpm by playing the Skyfall method almost flawlessly. Based on this expectation and his Shinra meter image, we can roughly calculate the projected net gain/loss in DPS as follow: Average damage gained from CoS per minute= 3.649m * 29.59= 107.97391m Projected damage loss from 10 less SF hpm per minute= 8.377m * 10= 83.77m Projected damage loss from 15 less QA hpm per minute= 4.952m * 15= 74.28m Total projected average damage loss per minute= 107.97391m - 83.77m - 74.28m= -50.07609m That translates to roughly 835k overall DPS loss. The above rough calculation also exclude potential DPS loss from glyph points investment to make CoS work and potential DPS loss from lesser DC hpm. Even without making calculations, if the community is being asked whether is it worth investing 9 glyph points into a skill that has 50% crit rate and has only 4-6% total DPS contribution, I'm confident that the general consensus will be that it is not worth it at all.

@@felt3511 I used to have the same thought (you can refer to my video for FAHM. However, I realized that CS may account for 4-6% of my total DPS, while auto will only account for 1% or less. In addition, using CS wont affect much for HPM for skyfall and Double Cut. So I think it is worth investing in glyph points in CS... OF coz CS is the least prioritized . just slightly higher than LOTW and Auto... :)
@@felt3511 You may refer to the TOP korean ninja player - he is also the top player over all classes.

@@f4f0035 Lumikan Normal Mode is almost as sandbag as Training Ground Crab. A good ninja player like 161 can certainly push for roughly 10 more SF and 15 more QA hpm by playing the Skyfall method almost flawlessly. Based on this expectation and his Shinra meter image, we can roughly calculate the projected net gain/loss in DPS as follow:
Average damage gained from CoS per minute= 3.649m * 29.59= 107.97391m
Projected damage loss from 10 less SF hpm per minute= 8.377m * 10= 83.77m
Projected damage loss from 15 less QA hpm per minute= 4.952m * 15= 74.28m
Total projected average damage loss per minute= 107.97391m - 83.77m - 74.28m= -50.07609m
That translates to roughly 835k overall DPS loss.
The above rough calculation also exclude potential DPS loss from glyph points investment to make CoS work and potential DPS loss from lesser DC hpm. Even without making calculations, if the community is being asked whether is it worth investing 9 glyph points into a skill that has 50% crit rate and has only 4-6% total DPS contribution, I'm confident that the general consensus will be that it is not worth it at all.
thx you
perfect combo good ninja!! but you forget to open focus xD
That was done on purpose so that the crab doesn't die as fast.
what does it mean to open focus?
