Dragoon is still a strong DPS and is the ONLY melee with good AoE (yes, there is more in this game than single target raids). The whole NIN bandwagon crap will end pretty soon once people realize they can't play the job optimally. MNK is better in terms of single target DPS, but again MNK AoE is only better with Perfect Balance and is subpar otherwise.

This is far from WAR 2.0. That was a legitimate disconnect in balance where one option was completely superior in every single way compared to the other.
