    Well, as a War, lemme just say. I always can use Goad. If if it's up, I'll put it to use. Particularly in my raid groups where my healers are removing the pacification of Berserk (As that's usually when I catch up my tp). But ya know, I also got Flash (So I ain't too worried about running out). But I'm putting up your slashy debuff, least you can do is Goad me bro :P.

    Goad is an ability that needs to be judged by the ninja in the moment.

    My priority goes:
    1. Tanks (if they ask for it), especially wars.
    2. Mnk/Drg/Nin depending on how long the fight will be going on for.
    3. Brd if there isn't any melee dps in the party and a tank doesn't ask for it.

    I'm on board with a lot of the tanks saying they shouldn't have to ask. Though at the same time, since I also tank, it's not difficult to realize that dps do have quite a bit to worry about (contrary to popular belief) and it would really help to maybe remind the ninja to use it.

    As people get more used to the class you'll see it used more regularly.

    Until then, help them out. Ninja is convoluted to a lot of people, as a lot think the rotation is hard.

    It's really not melee rotations that throw some ppl off or assume its hard. Mudra casting in instanced content is not consistent between casts and also waiting for the Ninjutsu icon to change properly. You fail, you lose Ninjutsu for 20secs. A core function of your job.

    I watch it out of the corner of my eye. Some are tunnel visioning it. It's something completely new and different to the norm of other jobs.

    Upto 3 .5 sec casts to then perform an action. With server side checks like everyone else and however your connection is.
