Ninja has many of it's higher potency abilities behind mudra combinations but it also is granted a static 20% DMG bonus with Kiss applied.


Dragoon has no static bonus or building bonus on it's damage output - that's all that holds it back in my opinion. I would rather see a static bonus or a stacking bonus that Dragoon can apply than upping it's Jump potency or changing it's play-style too drastically.
Monks don't have any attacks that have higher than 200 potency. Ninja and Monks both have a 1-2-3 combos that hits over 300 on their last hit. DRGs also have an attack buff from heavy thrust.
