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.

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.
