Ninja: "So.. about that Storm's Eye?"

[Delorean]

If all you want to do is maintain aggro and reduce incoming damage, you can basically do a single high enmity UBIR rotation (the optimized one) and then throw up Storm's Path every 20 seconds; your damage is going to be crap, but you'll be doing everything that your role "requires" of you.

lol calling bad tank dps bad is like saying a dps in the 90th percentile of rankings is bad

it's not even possible to do bad damage as a tank. just keep maim up and you will be within 10% damage of whatever anyone else is doing.

holy crap you must run with some bad dps, personally i dont see tanks doing 350 dps, and thats not even 90% of what i consistently see from my static groups' dps

now then, from a dps' standpoint (since i main a dps class), finding a war who is able to throw up storms eye most of the time would be great, but to expect 100% up time if the warrior has to do any tanking at all, its just not going to happen, sure it might be nice and all, but just look at all the bards that do good dps without a dragoon, at least ninjas should always have the debuff up some of the time, and ninjas wont even have to nerf their damage by singing songs.

with that said, players in general should always try to outperform themselves, in the case of warriors, one of the things they can do is throw up storms eye a little more, if it was even .1 dps higher than the last attempt because of it, then its better.

on a side note, storms path doesn't require 100% uptime, as a tank you should know when the spike damage is coming and plan accordingly, if theres no spike damage coming for a while, throw up a storms eye instead of a storms path.
