Just something to keep in mind.
Yeah, that is a fair point. SE's fix to NIN's TP consumption kinda messed things up a bit. SP -> BB would work in a situation where you're seeing a higher DPS gain for NIN to apply DE than for the WAR to apply SE (would also result in higher WAR DPS I thiiiink?). That obviously greatly depends on the length of the fight, how long the BRD needs to play Paeon, how long the NIN will remain bottomed out, etc. It's a very tricky situation, and tbh I usually see NINs decide to apply DE regardless just to save themselves TP. Would actually love to see if anyone's crunched the numbers/done testing on this as it would be very useful to know.
