It's time to buff Ninja - Yes it is.

[Typhoria]

Let me put this simply so the people arguing that ninja is fine can take a close look:

ST damage
1st) Drg
2nd) Mnk
3nd) Nin

AoE damage
1st) Mnk
2nd) Drg
3rd) Nin

I am sure everyone can agree every MMO has fotm classes. Every MMO also strives for balance. It is not particularly balanced for a melee dps class to be last at both st and aoe. Add in their other issues (tp, mudras, dull hw skills on longer than needed cooldowns), and I really feel ninja needs some tweaks. There have been many good suggestions in this thread even.

In mmo balance no one complains about a sub 10% difference.
