    But any pull with 4+ targets would benefit from Goad. You could apply it right at the start. Trust your instincts and play proactively.

    Here is a handy chart:
    1. Are there 4 or more targets? If Y, go to 2. If N, hold Goad.
    2. Is there a WAR? If Y, Goad the WAR. If N, go to 3.
    3. Is there a MNK? If Y, Goad the MNK. If N, go to 4.
    4. Is there a DRG? If Y, you can't Goad KO'd targets. If N, hold Goad.

    The reason why I generalized in the beginning is simple. Just because I know how WAR works, doesn't mean every Ninja does. The job is a week old. Telling them to get it into their mind set with big pulls isn't a negative thing.

    In a Dungeon (tome grinds):

    I expect a WAR to do Storm's Eye if they are in my PT against a single target. Why? You are a tank and not a DPS. It is more beneficial for you to keep SE going so I can maintain my 2 DoTs and push more filler DPS via my AE Combo.

    Higher End Content as a WAR MT (Situational):

    In a Burn Phase you can apply SE while a NIN can focus on DPS and DoT. However, if your WAR is getting wrecked then they can focus on Storm's Path and your NIN can take over Slash debuff.

    I feel the increase in your Storm's Eye was put in for a reason besides giving NIN its own version.
