Ninja DPS Output(A possible Fix)

I like the idea of rDPS, imo it feels good to buff the party and debuffs the boss it makes it feel more directly impactful and meaningful to me.
But yeah the issue is too that people need to actually take advantage of it too, if you do your thing and the party isn't taking advantage of it then it essentially makes your performance worse too.

This is why I've suggested before to give Trick Attack a higher damage buff to the NIN, so keep it at 5% or so for the party but make it higher for the NIN personally.
I actually do like Trick Attack and I don't want it to go away, my personal preference tho would be to redesign it sorta like Cloak of Shadows or whatever it's called in WoW where you basically enter '' sneaky mode '' and can do more powerful attacks more stealth themed.
Maybe make it turn your basic combo into more powerful attacks with new animations sorta like Enshroud on RPR ( or bring back Sneak Attack in its stead ).

Buffing the Trick Attack % buff for the NIN on a personal level tho should also make it easier to balance too since you're working with a flat % buff.
I also kinda want Shadowfang back too altho we're still very busy in our Trick Attack window and can't always fit all of it inside it.

I miss both Shadowfang and Dancing Edge as combo actions tho, it was more fun than 123 imo it made it feel more busy.
But yeah some of this like the Cloak of Shadows suggestion would require a rework.
I still kinda want Trick Attack to feel a bit more impactful to the NIN themselves tho.
We're the tricky and sneaky ones.
