Alternatives to "nerfing" ninja

[Dree-Elle]

Has anyone even considered that the nerf to NIN might result in an (albeit unintentional?) nerf for BRD as well? NIN blows through more TP, calls for Paeon are more frequent. Goad can only be used so often (and usually only by request, because NO TP METER). Bard's DPS drops.

It's no use continuing to try and force BRD into a support role that does not exist; in all the content I've done, BRDs never Paeon, Foe infrequently, and Ballad only after being begged (often multiple times), with the excuse being "B-BUT MAH DEEPZ!"

I agree like I've said ninja becoming more tp inefficient results in hindrances all around, specifically on bard. Bard already has to baby sit in new coil with ballads muchless have time to gimp their damage further with paeon for the tp starved melee.

Because the devs probably think NIN is too strong in comparison to the whole roster of dps rather than just DRG is my guess. If it was just about DRG they could've just buffed DRG but since they are going the route of nerfing NIN, it seems to suggest they are unhappy with where NIN stands in the dps rankings.
Not saying thats actually the case or my own opionion but thats probably their reasoning.

Edit: Another guess is that they didnt want DRG to be close to or on par with MNK but would've needed to in order to make them as desirable as NIN. So they went the middle route of buffing DRG a bit and nerfing NIN a bit.

The devs can't even do as much damage as a lot players on monk and ninja and yet they want to nerf it <___<;
Does this mean if we post enough numbers of super high monk damage it will get nerfed too?

A silver lining is.... JP THREAD
That is 1 of 2 threads (the one i linked being 40 pages) of people complaining about the incoming nerfs and reasoning for it, the nerfs might be retracted or severely minimal at this point.
