MNK or NIN?

Basically, I've gotten both my MNK and my NIN to level 50 and I plan on maining one. My question is, since I've looked around and haven't been able to find a better answer;

Which one is the better DPS?

I feel like I'm more partial to the MNK rotation than a NIN rotation, but that could just be NIN being somewhat slower. Out of both rotations, the MNK rotation seems more... indepth, seems more difficult to pull off correctly. Am I correct in thinking like this?

Out both of them, which one do you think has the most capability to outshine the other. As in, what is more impressive a good MNK or a good NIN?

Thanks in advance.

MNK is still the highest single target DPS. Final Coil bosses have hardly any downtime unlike previous coils so you won't lose GL3 if you are good. There's maybe 1 occasion each in 12 (transition to adds phase) and 13 (Teraflare) but you'll have PB back up for both those times.

NIN is only maybe 10-15 dps behind though, and the utility they bring to the raid more than makes up for it.

My worry is, more than likely that NIN will be nerfed next patch. It seems way too powerful.

DRG

People often overlook the excellent utility of Monk. Dragon Kick is amazing mitigation, and full Mantra really eases the burden on Healers during raid wide AOE damage.

People really don't understand Ninja that well. It's not overly powerful, so much as Dragoon is lacking right now. For example Ninja's high potency and fewer positional attacks are to balance Ninjutsu taking about a GCD to execute, and Huton does no damage by it's self.

not to mention, Huton is literally dragoon's heavy thrust (arguably, ninja's huton is inferior to HT) and part of monk's GL.

the 15% skill speed boost is necessary to keep ninja on par with DPS (without it, look at how horrible ninja DPS is).

The Final Binding Coil of Dragon Kick

Neither. Level Warrior or Rodeo Clown. They play like a DPS but without the 5 min+ wait time on anything you want to do.

Let me just toggle my 20% damage boost on dragoon. Oh wait.

make what you want, but I imagine the only class not receiving a change atm will be monk. Expect nin to be nerfed and drg to be buffed.
