I say that DNC isn't "too powerful" because it doesn't rival Monk unless you're fighting something Piercing weak in lowman situations. Giving us Mandau isn't going to suddenly make the job more useful or more used. It's just going to give me something to blow my gil on for a month or two.
I just feel in lowman situations w.o relying on other peoples buffs, that dnc is just superior as is. My dnc with just 85 twash destroys basically all but heavy DD, and has the utility to take no damage the whole time too. Mandau just seems like it would be unbalanced. More power to dnc though I guess >.>
