Ummm... incoming dps rage?

I think personally, I would consider that current buffs may not even be the final(ish) ones jobs get. Given it's not really a major patch, and they're already in the middle of working on the actual major stuff, probably these are just the buffs/changes they knew they could safely make without wildly tipping balance, giving them a little more breathing room to make more fine-tuned adjustments later.
But I'm not an endgame player, so my opinion amounts to little.
I've looked up a NIN who did nearly those rDPS in a fight before the patch: 12.794,3. Now, most of the dmg comes from "attack" which didn't change. There are also other skills which doesn't change. So I only look at the total numbers of the now changed attacks: 5.446 DPS
5.446 out of 12.794 DPS
So yeah, the excel-numbers above are indeed very, very false.
Ya the Ninja potency buffs are, insanely weak imo. Only looking good on paper.
@452 vs a dummy pre patch I would hit 11.5k after 3 minutes.
After patch, same rotation, which I use all of that was buffed before and after, its same exact dps at the 3 minute mark. Maybe hundred difference. So ninja is pretty much still where it was.
Very disappointed with nin still, no where near enough to compete with a blm, or even a mch.
For all its purpose I dont see why even bother buffing it like this, because as provided, this does basically nothing.
This shows how awful the balance is. Why are summoner and red mage 1,2k and 1.5k RDPS behind BLM? Assuming a optimal use of their raidbuffs their rdps should be slightly higher then the selfish dps of a blm. Then you can take a way a few hundred dps for their raise and have summoner 200-300 and rdm 300-500 behind black mage in rdps. But the current gap is just ridiculous.
Mmmmm but... But the plan was not to make a complete rework of the Ninja? those are just a small buff not a rework owo
But this is not a buff either. By definition? Ya sure.
But 12.7k dps now doing 12.8k? If you call this a buff then idk what to say, this was a waste of time imo.
Making that full layout in the patch notes for ninja was more impressive then what ninja actually does post patch. Its kind of insulting to ninjas.
The buff to Ninja should be enough for people to stop locking it out of PFs.
This is not going to change that problem.
Ty for those charts pepsi. Pretty much confirms the overall feeling of being crapped on I had when testing it at servers up time.
Sorry, my math was false too. I will go over it again.

Looks better now but still not as high as the first numbers (an increase of 600 DPS in this case). So it should be now where SAM was before. But dunno. I think I got everything covered but maybe I still made a mistake somewhere. Guess we'll see actual numbers soon enough.
