Well bringing in the idea of skill to who will do the better dps is not relevant because it is a qualitative measurement and doesn't add anything substantial to the argument. What needs to be looked at are many different parses to actually see an average dps or median for each class. Right now it seems that DRG > MNK > NIN in terms of overall dps. But the problem is how much of a dps difference there is between the classes. It seems that DRG is between 100-200 dps higher than NIN which is pretty significant. The difference between MNK and NIN is not really known too well because DRG outshines them both too heavily so the difference is probably not that much between MNK and NIN. Essentially, MNK and NIN both need to be looked at but since NIN is the LOWEST of the 3 then NIN needs more of a look than MNK.
