NIN -- how does everyone else feel we're doing?

[Layke]

Drgs are not required for raid groups. People just think they are. If your drg is pulling 100-200 dps more than your mnk, that more than likely point more issues towards you person playing mnk.

The mnk in my raid group is damn good, and goes toe to toe with me.

I haven't taken my nin into raids since HW, but it is 60, and the dps difference between nin and mnk isn't huge.

Edit: Mnk has better AoE damage than drg.

For cutting edge progression, DRGs are basically required. I think every Static I've seen that has downed atleast A2S has had one. Their DPS is just so much higher than the other melee at the moment that if a DRG is losing/tied to another melee it means they are simply not as good as they should be.
