Heres my take on it...
If you use it on something weak enough that your gunna let it hit you its really not gunna make a difference.
If you use it on something strong enough that it might be worth it your pritty much screwed either way.
Ichis also seem to have a very noticably less duration then ni spells as well (I dont jabuku soloing alot of times for this reason) so by the time you work out the casting time + delay after cast + working it in with your other spells your loseing alot of attack rounds which is where your gunna get the majority of your hate (maybe around 50/50 if /drk). I think the main reason people are unhappy with this is that they slaped down nin/drk tanking, which before was able to build hate = to a pld with the right gear, and left us with futae and magic burst bonus... So now to make up for that we have to 5/5 merit a spell and effect, get a MAB/INT set (i know most nins dont have) and stalk SCs if there are any (im assuming this is what SE ment when they said we were gunna get an enmity spike ability that we work with party for >.>). Hopefully we get something nice for enmity boosting next update.
