Monk also doesn't get up to 5 hit negations on certain mobs. You're just whining that NIN's special ability doesn't completely blow MNK's special ability away.

Nah, but they do get a huge HP pool which makes them invaluable as tanks, the best raw DPS in the game, access to some of the most OP Defensive abilities available, counter/Perfect Counter(which admittedly are less than useful thanks to AoE physical hits... but so are shadows), and two useful and amazing SP abilities.

So i mean, is it really so much to ask the now red-headed stepchild of Not-a-tank-or-dd gets an ability thats at least on par with the one MNK got from Day1?
