Objective comparison of Mnk and Nin difficulty to play ?

[OmniKLD]

Monk is top dps in situational fights not straight out top DD. You put a equal geared mnk n nin in a t8 fght mnk would definitely out dd nin but lets say a dungeon or levi or most content nin would out dd simply because its impossible to keep gl3 up

This is correct, but classes should be balanced after the current top tier content, because a) it is the only content with dps checks that 10% more or less dps would make any difference and b) with the next content update and new gear, level cap, skills, etc., the balance will change completely anyway. That being said, the current top tier content - final coil - is high uptime fights all the way, so an equally geared and skilled monk should out-dps a nin in every encounter that does not have any deaths.
