    Imagine not having to wait for that.

    Really, though, if we're going to define "useless" to mean "will never be used if everything goes right," then we might as well get rid of Resurrection and Raise, too. Why would you need such useless abilities? The DPS just need to not stand in the fire, or the tank just needs to pop CDs. Get rid of Mage's Ballad and Army's Paeon, too. Healers should be able to manage their MP, and DPS can just wait a moment if they're running low on TP.

    Exactly, Ninja has more Burst damage compared to MNK and DRG. What this new ability does is allows Ninja to just go ham at the start of the fight and not wait for the tank to grave hate. Better yet a good NIN can do the whole spreading the dmg across enemies and if x enemy that is on the tank starts to grow more hatred towards you one ability and bam you just gave the hate of all targets on you to the tank.
