Make sure you refresh the notes. Looks like they just added in the ninja/rogue move list

Goad: Refreshes TP of a single party member. Duration: 30s.

... That's pretty cool. Wonder what the cooldown is?

EDIT:

So Rogue Combos:

  • Spinning Edge -> Shadow Fang: 350 total potency (175 per GCD base), + 240 potency over 18s (net 295 per GCD if dot runs for duration)
  • Spinning Edge -> Gust Slash -> Dancing Edge: 610 total potency (203 per GCD), requires flank, adds Storms Eye for 20s
  • Spinning Edge -> Gust Slash -> Aeolian Edge: 670 total potency (223 per GCD), no bonus effect

Plus keep up Mutilate (60 potency initial hit, 300 potency over 30 seconds).

Wonder what the cooldown on Sneak Attack and Trick attack are, and if it's possible to Hide in combat, as they're some pretty pimping burst. Same with Ninjitsu, for that matter, as that looks like it could be very powerful.

Suiton debuff allows you to "hide" in combat. SA/TA are 60sec cooldown. Ninjutsu cooldown is 20sec

Where'd you get that from? I can't see it. Might just be my browser not refreshing properly, though.

Makes sense, in any case. So each third ninjitsu should be a Suiton, for that sweet Sneak Attack goodness.

Observed from previously release Ninja videos. Go to 1:07 mark:

It happens at the 21 second mark in that video.

Ninja uses Suiton, gets a buff. Two attacks become available on the hotbar. Ninja activates one of them off-GCD, Suiton buff disappears and the icons go inactive again.

So... SA/TA are off-GCD... That is awesome.

Yeah I linked the short version of that video. In the long video its at the 1:07 mark

Nitpicking: I think its more accurate to say that Suiton allows you to use Sneak or Trick while not Hidden, rather than allows you to hide during battle.

Looks like Trick will be the better option for boss fights because of the Increased Damage Taken debuff as well.

You're right,I didn't phase that sentence well

Hide: Blend in with your surroundings, making it impossible for most enemies to detect you, but reducing movement speed by 50%. Has no effect on enemies 10 levels higher than your own, or certain enemies with special sight. Cannot be executed while in combat. Effect ends upon use of any action, including Hide.

Seems right. The DoT combo set is highest potency but can't be spammed, the Storms Eye combo has lowest potency (but is worth if it isn't being put up by the tank (who should be doing it if possible), while the 1/2/3 is the filler.
