PSA: NIN and WAR relations

[treuhavik]

The status effect of 10% slash resistance is identical, so how is it a loss for a NIN to do this? It fits EXACTLY into my NIN combo rotation and provides an extra 160 (260 vs 100) damage on top of dropping the status effect, therefore, my damage as a DPS is increased by using it vs not.

Because instead of using this

Dancing Edge
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Combo Action: Gust Slash Potency: 260.
Combo Bonus: Decreases target's slashing resistance by 10% and HP recovery via healing magic by 20%
Duration: 20s
Cannot be stacked with the Storm's Eye status.

You could be using this

Aeolian Edge
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Combo Action: Gust Slash Potency: 320
