    I had a macro for Shadewalker, but no "say" to go with it.... honestly will be glad that's not something I have to pay attention to playing ninja anymore. Shadewalker wasn't too bad since you could use <tt> but smoke screen? I never use it because it required me to take my attention off the boss.

    Off-topic rant incoming:

    I understand that the devs wanted enmity-control to be one of the NIN gimmicks, but with how mind-numbingly easy enmity generation is in this game for tanks the only actual purposes of those skills is to take up space on the skill bar.

    It was added because tanks were not in tank stance for most fights, thus not generating lots and lots of enmity.

    Was that for Savage raids with people trying to squeeze out every last damage point? It only takes 1 or 2 tank stance enmity combos in most fights and you're set for life.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Point was that tanks have absurd enmity generation just on their own and the only thing a NIN dumping aggro on you does is save you a few GCD in tank stance to get the same effect. Hardly useful outside of (maybe) Savage raids with tight timers or some kind of interaction with adds.
