    That said, Duality is pretty much the Bard's Barrage skill with no trait. A shame that it isn't a 10 second buff to let all ST WS hit twice within that duration. But since it isn't it's kinda crappy IMO. It's okay but definitely just a copy paste skill.
    Teleport and Shukuchi are no DPS Skills. If you combine your DPS Skills and Buffs in Macros you will lose Time and it will happen pretty often that one of these things doesn't really work. You will always be faster without Macros in these Cases if you can play your Class right and if you are able to use your Keybinds properly.

    I play controller. I don't think I have the luxury of keybinds. Besides in my experience the 3 Ogcd's are all abysmally weak even when they do Crit. Probably because Ninja is more a support DPS mainly through Trick Attack and I guess Dancing Edge. Enmity Control is cool I guess. Unfortunately I lack the finger reflexes to pop the buffs in sync with all the attacks so I'll never be a top level Ninja nor do I aspire to be one. I do commend those who can pull it off though.

    A ninja is not only a supporter, a ninja can deal a extreme high amount of dps if played properly. I can't say anything about controller handling but i think Phireblast did it already.

    Yes these 2 Skills don't deal the highest amount of dps in the ninjas arsenal, but they are still dps sources and like i said, macros aren't working properly pretty often and you are still slower with them. But i guess if you aren't playing with an opener and a certain rotation, it doesn't really matter if you are slow or if 1 skill doesn't even go off.
