the buff DRG got is very, very slight and has already been calculated in the DRG forum to be about a 1% dps boost, or push you from 350 DPS to 355. Its more of a QoL change than a dps buff.

Monks are awesome DPS because they can stack dmg buffs/debuffs , Greased L 3 (15% dmg , 15% atk speed) , fist of fire (5% dmg) , Twin snakes (10% bonus) , and Dragon kick -10% blunt resistance......can dispel and silence (lowes dps)
I doubt ninjas will be able to do more dps than monks , but have some utiltiy , Slashing debuff (if not war) , 10% more dmg for 10s every once in a while , TP for mnk/drg, or a tank that got rezzed and needs to grab agro :P. , Silence on demand.
if only nin boosted magic dmg / restore MP they could remplace Brds (dex job vs dex job afterall)
It's not a matter of who can beat who to me. It's if I have fun playing the job or not. If I like ninja more than I do monk then of course I will play it instead. Vice versa if I like playing monk more.
