Patch 2.45 December 9th

I think it's more of a theoretical DPS vs practical DPS, you know your DPS will vary greatly depending on the mechanics you have to deal with, perhaps on paper NIN has higher (or the highest) potential DPS.

That would be my bet too as the newer coil fights seem to force melee to miss a lot of positional bonuses, so ninja may have been overperforming because of that.

What I'm most interested in is the Stoneskin II. I wonder if it means SE is finally breaking away from the overly rigid "Every class must have exactly X skills and each skill must only be learned at level Y" regardless of if the class would be more fun/interesting with an additional skill or two.

They broke away from that with Arcanist and Rogue, which have more abilities than the other classes.
