    Provoke does the same thing, and doesn't require extra gear/wasting gil.
    Also: play ninja better and this wont happen on the mobs you're actually suppose to be tanking.

    I like when you type responses to things, because half of your post makes no sense, and it's fun to pretend to be a detective and try to solve the puzzle of what you're trying to say.

    At this point you ARE just being obnoxious. Provoke works, sure, no disputing that, but if you never tank anything that hate resets you on NIN, and are completely sure that Sange damage (which is not even the same type of enmity) is 'worthless' in that situation, you're the one who needs to 'play Ninja better', unless you're basically saying 'you are never supposed to be tanking anything with hate reset as Ninja without help'.

    Do I really need to do the math to prove sange isn't worth using AGAIN?
    Melee attacks are better than sange.
    Melee attacks are better than throwing.
    Melee attacks are better than the ninja elemental damage spells.
    Any questions?

    Also; If something has hate reset you're doing it wrong by either A. Having anyone other than a single WHM accumulating enmity with the NIN by curing the NIN, in which case 1 provoke is enough to bring the mob back to the NIN after the hate reset move or B. Not having a cotank who isn't horrible.
    In which way are you doing it wrong in your example?

    It's not the ascetic of the animation or idea of tossing something at something that bothers anyone. It is the amount of damage done in exchange for what is given up to do that damage.

    Throwing could be changing to Bro'ing, complete with Milwaukee's Best Light ammunition, a shotgunning animation, and physical damage produced by wind-shear from a collar popped at the speed of sound. Everyone who thinks throwing is goofy would feel the same way about Bro'ing if the damage, delay, form of delay, and other objective factors remained the same as throwing.

    If the Development Bros somehow give throwing and shurikens some kind of niche, great. However, it is important to realize where throwing stands currently and what would be needed to give it a niche.
