Shouldn't DRG be top DPS?

[4gotmypassword]

For the record, before I start, I just want to say that anyone who says "but DRG was just buffed it doesn't need buffing again" is a fool; DRG was very far behind the other two melees and the buff may not have been enough.

Anyway.

This is an interesting topic, and in short, I think yes, for perfect balance it should have a small-medium buff, either to have the same DPS as a MNK, or to have the same team contribution as a NIN (which I'd prefer).
Let's look at everything these classes have (except direct DPS buffs as they can be summarised by looking at DPS numbers), not including anything they all have (e.g. pre-trait Mantra):

MNK:
++ Blunt resistance - 10% on target; affects Ifrit and other monks
++ Intelligence - 10% on target
+ Stun 4s
+ Traited Second Wind
+ Traited Mantra
+ 10% damage resistance (and -5% damage) during Fists of Earth
+- Awkward to use silence aoe, long-range-only stun (and relocation), slow effect, traited Featherfoot, Bloodbath
- Positionals
