Give ninja goad for mp then maybe things would become more even (joke btw I don't really want this)
Every dps-job has to sacrifice something to keep their dps sustained over an extended period of time, either they have to limit their own damage output , or they need to have someone else limiting their damage output. The exceptions are Black Mages (whose entire gimick is the fact that they have very short uptime and downtime) and Goad (Which isn't enough to keep everyone sustained).
