RIP Ninja

[Kallera]

Not slamming your opinion, but the bold bit is kinda the point. Maybe the devs thought 3.0 is the right time to try and change this.

Even if Yoshi P. and company just threw darts at pictures of the jobs tacked to a wall to see who got the new enmity management JA; enmity management in this game at present can be laughable at times. Someone needed to get a JA like this, why not NIN?

Now my opinion: The only time when Kage-Watari will be a total waste is if NINs choose not to use it going forward because they think 'we shoulda got better JAs' at a time that will eventually be just a minor stepping stone in where the game ends up in the future.

Or in any half decent party that isn't going to die immediately to attacks. Congrats, you have bought time for your pt, better attach a macro and tell the tank to step it up(pro tip: make it nice and funny, that way laughs are had and forum threads are not created.)

I do say it can help with snap agro , but will it be effective with multiple adds?

Now that is one helluva question, isn't it?

If it is, i can see myself using Death Blossom and Katon a lot more than just throwing a bit of AOE on top of pile in some situations. Grab aggro on some loose mobs, aoe them and then Kage-Watari them onto the main tank or an off-tank. Not flashy or the star attraction in an activity, but imo super effective in helping to keep things under control.
