The Ninja Superthread

Tell me then, what gain is there on having 2 DRGs in a dungeon in relation to the passibly applied Piercing debuff?

That's the whole point, they each use it because it let's them access something else that is high damage (hence why both use it), while a NIN will ideally never use DE, unless there is no Warrior. The Warrior uses Storms Eye because it's his second highest damage skill.

There would be nothing to gain from having 2 NINs and it would hurt the relationship with WAR.

Yes. Because we can actually do the debuff ourselves. BRD likes DRG because DRG gives BRD more dmg (something that doesn't change the way they either class plays, it just passively exists for them). NIN likes WAR because it gives NIN more dmg, by having a huge impact on my rotation. I dislike that.

The reasons

... Nevermind...

I can only agree with Allyrion that DE might be hogging the priority in the rotation a bit much in contrast to AE and AC.
Something to extend the DE duration could help alleviate this and let the 123 lovers 123 all day =-= (yes, being a bit salty, sorry).

Examples that comes to mind:
- Increasing DE duration to 30 seconds.
- Making AE fully refresh DE duration with -3 seconds. (20, 17, 14 and so on)
- Making SE and GS extend DE effect for +1 second.
