Hello, Lurker and noob ninja here. I was curious (and couldn't find any information about this in the ninja section) to why this ☆ ability isn't used, I have a few guesses but I felt that an overall synopsis by all ninjas would more accurately answer my question (and it could help any others that have this question as well.)
TL;DR- Why isn't the rate cut☆ used?

Excatly as Jeancarlo said, some bosses have special HP attacks
For example:
Boss X does a special attack -100% HP
Normally you will be dead no matter what your HP is ... 10, 100, 1000... 1m
If you have equipements and/or crystals and/or Al Crystas and/or abilities with rate cut -xx%, but let's say you have a total of rate cut -40%, boss will only hit you with -60% HP (which is the difference)
This is good for tanking classes like paladins or soloers that does not want to get single shooted
In the case of ninjas ... this is quite useless ... the special attack will be absorbed by the clones ... normally

Wow, I was heavily misinformed. I thought rate cut referred to the speed of the weapon swings. Thank you both for the answer as well as the correction.

Np, just in case if you come across something named rate relief (in other threads or wikis...), know that it is the same thing, only a bad translation |

Quick Cool affects the cooldown for SKILLs (useful for DoC, but not auto-attacks), and Quick Use affects the cooldown of ITEMS (not that useful for NINs over all) |
