Tank Gear's Value for the Future.

[PArcher]

As a NIN...WARs as a whole are horribly unreliable at keeping up Storm's Eye, so it's muscle memory a lot of times (and it's also our most reliable finisher if we're on the move or the boss is turning and we can't guarantee a positional since it has no positional requirement and has higher potency than both Aeolian Edge and Armor Crush if they aren't used from the proper angle). Diabolos isn't raidcore central or anything, but I've never had a static WAR I could trust to keep Storm's Eye up during a boss fight. It's actually incredibly frustrating.

Most of FFlogs are raid parses. If you, as a NIN, keep putting Edge up during a raid with your static, you're bad. Your WAR should be keeping Eye up as close to 100% of the time as he can.

And yes, there are times where Dancing is more DPS than Aeolean or Crush, but they are very few and far between (A1S the room-AoE after Spaser goes out and there's bad Resin Bombs, A3S for the Hand, Adds in A1S and A4S...), and you should be trying to avoid using Dancing whenever you possibly can. My static has a NIN, we've discussed this to death
