MNK or NIN?

[Atreides]

Not trolling but id actually call that balance. Assuming equal dps one would always choose NIN over DRG becaushttp://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=2601864e of more utility and NIN being less effected by mechanics.

Alternative would obviously be to give more utility to DRG instead.

How would that be balance? There are already plans to buff dragoons to put them there where the other melees are now, it wouldn't make sense to nerf ninjas to have monks and dragoons topping the meters. Ninjas right now are in their right place and don't need a nerf, only dragoons can't be ignored anymore and do need a buff which they are getting.
Alot of people seem to forget Dragon Kick too which monks have, this skill alone is gold in the final coils, because litteraly everything that hits your group is magic.

Besides a Ninja in your group will be your best friend with Goad, he will push your DPS by alot in longer fights, why would you want him nerfed when DRGs get buffed anyway.
