Anyone else think NIN should be able to Goad itself?

Are you aware that in an extended fight or a short fight, a DRG should now be putting out very similar DPS to a NIN? NIN has an extremely high burst phase at the beginning, but unless you're on trash mobs, a DRG should catch them fairly quickly.

Difference is, NIN will run out of TP far sooner in a long fight and burn it faster on any fight due to high skill speed and low regen capability. Not sure how that's balanced.

And again, outside of a static or premade, there's no guarantee you will have a bard or machinist. That's why it's important that melees have decent TP regen too. And when long, low downtime fights come in, all except NIN will. That is not fair or balanced.

Bards particularly also have to be careful of when they sing. Burning your MP on one song, then the healer going down and needing MP when you can't provide it because you spent yours is a real risk.
