Is the Ninja nerf really needed?

Leviathan EX disagrees with you.

MNK is already nerfed IMO due to the various mechanics of most of the fights in this game. I don't think MNK should be judged based only on what it can do under ideal circumstances when those circumstances rarely exist anyway.

It's time to swallow your pride and consider the possibility you aren't as good at MNK as you thought.

If you're talking about fcob in particular then yes. Those fights are monk friendly. However, there are scenario's where monk dps can be lackluster like I just mentioned. Those scenarios don't really occur for ninjas since they don't rely on gl3. The current endgame fights are monk friendly but that doesn't mean it will always be that way.

Monk perform more than fine on every single encounter in the game

And NIN performs even better...

Turn 6, get eaten, lose stacks. turn 7, shriek, you lose stacks. t8 is constant, t9 lose stacks on double meteors plus both phase changes and dive bombs if targetted plus double meteors during odd nummbered DBs. t10, targetted for charge, lose stacks. t11 is constant, t12, only got to 60% our first day on it, so cant comment on that as much. Which can have a huge impact on MNK DPS. But you only have PUG to 26, so you aint speaking from experience.

Pro-tip parsers arent accurate. Especially when you see multiple peeps parsing the same fight and get vastly different results.

Talking about myself, and I know how MNK works, thanks.

Apparently not.

SNIP.

Are you somewhat implying monk isnt the best dps?

I never said I was good at it. But I do know how it works.

And the fact is that the game does not allow MNK to perform optimally in the vast majority of situations, whereas NIN is far easier to pick up and be able to outperform in a lot of those situations where GL3/positionals cannot be (easily) maintained.

Every time the MNK has to run from mechanics and lose their GL3, a NIN can be firing up their Huton again. That alone says a lot about the differences between the jobs right there.

Monk is potentially the best DPS. Look up what potential means.

So monk shouldn't be nerfed because one fight out of 2million they aren't at the top?

"One". Alright, keep dreaming. I can tell you don't play Monk in anything.
