General complaint thread

I have no idea how NIN cleaves, but I know from personal experience that Spinning Attack (MNK) and Circle Blade (PLD, RDM, BLU) do approximately the same amount of damage, ~1.2k + multi attacks (adding about 1k per hit). WAR has Fell Cleave, I don't know what kind of numbers it puts out but I would imagine it is significant since that WS alone spawned it's own form of aby exp party.

For reference, I use Tinhaspa on MNK and DW Claidheamh Soluis and Buramenk'ah on RDM.

Nin cleaves with Aeolian Edge, saw a JP out there the other night doing alright at it while I was cleaving on Pld (I rotate Blu/Pld/Rdm for job points and depending on my mood/what Job I'm on), with the right setup can hit 1300 damage or so, not OMGreat but not terrible.

1.) I do that for sparks, stripping off enough MAB/Mdmg gear to hit around 500 each nuke on whatever I'm on and then spamming if for objectives, is efficient.

2.) AoE damage output is a factor for how efficient your job is at cleaving, but not the only one. Blu/Blm/Rdm are all quite good at it, and reasonably close, is my point, so it's silly arguing that one has a big advantage over another, some are better in some locations, but all are close enough in Exp(orwhatever)/Hour overall that it's kinda a wash.
