I'm about to give up applying Storm's Eye for NINs....

just keep it up, you need maim for yourself, if the NIN want to reduce his own dps by apply DE, over write your SE, let they them do it

I always start with DE as the opener combo cuz some WAR start with the Butcher combo to gain high initial enmity, which is actually not a bad idea at all depending on gear disparity. As a WAR tank, the NIN in my static would often pull aggro at the start for half a sec if I don't start with a Butcher combo and I don't have my buffs up (such as on trash pulls), which can sometimes get him one-shotted. Granted, he has really high-gear and does insane damage but I'm a high-geared full STR WAR.

I've noticed if I open with SE that very geared DPS can pull hate off me with their opener, but I've assumed that's because my warrior relic is only at the Novus stage. I just check people's gear at the beginning of the dungeon, and if there's a huge disparity in the weapon ilevel I change my rotation. In the meantime, I'm working on the relic; halfway there with light and have almost all the Zodiac drops, so it'll get better soon enough. :3

It's been said already but I can't stress this enough: Communicate.

Let your party know what you plan to do.
