NIN in 5.1

[Satarn]

Odd thought:

Since our AoE GCDs only do 120-130 ppgcd (single or combo) and Shadow Fang (780 potency at present) is now unbound, unless they massively nerf its damage it won't be worth AoEing over simply rotating DoTs until 6+ targets... Even assuming they reduce the direct potency to 100 (resulting in 660 potency per use), it'll still slightly outperform DB-HM spam over 5 targets assuming all ticks complete.

...On the whole it just feels really weird to get Mutilate back all of a sudden, and at double-potency at that...

Didn't they say Shadowfang is gonna be a weapon skill with a 60 sec cd, pretty much like Sonic Break on GNB? Would love that to be untrue, because I like Shadowfang the way it is - we don't need to refresh Huton all that often, so using Aeolian combo over and over might get a bit stale, idk how where did they even get the idea that NIN's combos were too busy or complex honestly.
