When I first heard of this skill I was happy to hear Ninja's would get a skill to reduce enmity so they can't take the heat off of them and their party so the Tank can take aggro back to help them out... only to find out that Ninja's Smokescreen, like Goad, cannot be used on themselves.

What the heck man?! Are you seriously? It's a smokescreen by using a smoke bomb, it's a standard Ninja move and you're telling me I can't use it on my Ninja when I accidentally take the aggro from the Tank and he can't grab the hate back in time?

Utterly bull! Why would they do that? You can use it on your other team mates to help out but you? Isn't that the point of Smokescreen to help reduce enmity on the player and non-tank classes to help control the heat?

I find this ridiculous how is that a good game design? I've noticed in parties I've been that I end up taking the aggro even though the Tanks have the same level and ilevel as me or more and I STILL manage to grab aggro as I'm attacking super faster that builds up my Heat gauge due to Huton increasing my attack speed. Though the Tanks do manage to grab it back when their CDs are up and I'm not saying they're bad Tanks... it's just...

Why is the Ninja unable to remove their enmity so they don't get killed accidentally when they get aggro? They're not like FFXI who were unintentional part Tanks in their make-up and are glass cannons here in FFXIV.

I understand Goad as you encourage your team and Shade Walker is another type that works better for the team but why make TWO skills with the SAME effect to remove enmity on the party except the Ninja? Makes no sense.

Anyone agree they should change the Smokescreen effects to allow even the player to use it to remove their enmity? Cause I don't see ANYTHING in the description to hint otherwise using it on a team mate also effects your enmity as well.
