NIN -- how does everyone else feel we're doing?

That's exactly it, yes. The potency gap between Dancing Edge and Armor Crush/Aeolian Edge is larger than the gap between Storm's Eye and Butcher's Block, so less overall damage is lost if the WAR prioritizes the debuff instead of the NIN.

Warriors end up having to do Storm's Eye combo for their best DPS anyway, because Maim leads into it and Maim is a crucial part of their DPS.

Also because the difference between dancing and aeolian is 60 pot and for a warrior its basically 0 (the alternative is a butchers but like.. they need maim and the debuff so \o/ )

Honestly, the positional addition was so minor, I'm not even sure why they bothered, but they probably feared MNKs especially ultimately resenting how much they have to move in the long run.

Indeed, still doesn't make much sense to add positionals to a class they're gearing more towards utility, regardless of the reasoning.

So we can use our dmg combo instead of using dancing edge,

sometimes the warrior lets his storms eye fall off and doesn't reapply it quickly, this really bothers me as a nin and I am forced to use DE if the warrior sucks at reapplying Storms path,

For the most part storms path/eye forget the name, is on, but every once in a while playing with a warrior I have to use my DE... it's like a punishment for us nins, double dancing edge damage or double the dancing edge debuff timer.
