Referencing the FFXI Ninja at all in a discussion about tanks is a can of worms. I know I never played the game, but I still know that Ninja was not developed to be a tank and was only given enmity generating abilities once bad design allowed the community to use it as one. The main question here is "was the Ninja hate shedding move meant to help it perform its originally intended DPS role, or was it an ability specifically tailored to help them tank?"
