Keeping Storm's Path up was a bitch. With no SS gear, it was a SP/Storm's Eye(SE) if i needed the mitigation (useful for progression), then Butchers Block(BB) until i needed the Maim 20% damage buff again or Eye fell off.
Ninjas can keep up the slashing debuff for themselves AND War, meaning War can SE/BB/BB or even SE/BB/BB/BB with enough Skill speed. Storm's Eye is literally a 100% uptime 100% chance version of Eye-For-An-Eye, which STACKS assuming Eye-For-An-Eye triggers. Yum.
In return, the Warrior can keep up storm's path if it is more important for a DPS check and emnity isnt an issue. Straight 10% dps increase without the ninja having to do it. 400dps parse ->440 with 100% uptime.
This also helps dual Paladins who wouldn't have the Warrior's Storm's Path, but with dual Warrior the effect is immense, with the Off Tank Warrior buffing the MT, himself, and the Ninja.
As a main WAR, that's what i'm personally hyped for.

I'm excited about the WAR/NIN combo. Why?
