They really need to change NIN's Smokescreen skill

I don't want to lower myself on the enmity ranking aka the dps ranking. thank you.

When I read the title of the thread I totally thought it was going to be a rage topic about how ninja's have been trolling tanks with smokescreen and tossing their aggro dump skill on some poor dps/healer lol.
(and yes I know these can be clicked off but damn, people in duty finder these days seem to be REALLY dense!)

Well honestly I still think they need to change Smokescreen... plus how much enmity does it even remove? In the Level 60 dungeons it seems like barely ANYTHING gets shafted like maybe 1 - 3% of enmity is done and seeing how QUICKLY enmity is generate, I think perhaps lower enmity from 10 - 20% might be better at least.

True there's some trolls, but only the skill to be more useful and versatile.

The lack of tag on the third hit leads me to believe it is actually a hit from an auto-attack. Has anyone else noticed this? Can anyone shed some light on it? Is this working as intended or is it a flaw?

Edit: Nevermind, I pulled up my battle log and just saw that the three hits were so quick that I've just been missing it.

DwD always hits 3 times, the first 2 hits are nearly right on top of each other and then the 3rd hit is delayed just a tiny bit but not delayed enough where you can clip it with another skill.

Smokescreen is like a quelling strikes. It doesnt remove current enmity but reduces the amount generated.
