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

[Atreides]

As for Dancing Edge, at least you have another potential class that can apply the debuff. Monk has to apply their own, and DK is a DPS loss compared to BS. They just have to do it because nobody else will.

But Monk just flows and is really straight forward everything just comes right.
Ninja on the other hand feels like you're driving drunk while navigating with a map which you hold upside down. >_>
There is just way more room for error.

That's certainly your opinion on the class, which is valid for you but not as a fact.

There is just way more room for error.

Boss turns suddenly to shoot at a party member.
Almost 100% chance Monk will be on an ability in their combo that requires a position (fair enough, they could be just about to use Touch of Death).
NIN has 7 GCD abilities, 2 have positionals. Those two are also at the end of a 3 hit combo. Essentially there are 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 attacks in a combo (DE combo, AE combo, AC combo, SF combo, Mutilate). Even assuming each of these combos is used once in a rotation (not in practice, but for math's sake), you have 12 attacks in your combo. With 2 positionals. That means you have a 10/12 chance to not have to give a dang whether the boss faces you, the tank, the healer, or that DRG who just jumped and can't get out of the AOE.

Also consider AOE markers requiring you to move.

Also consider if a Monk is soloing or picking up an add that is targeting them. That's a 100% chance to not be hitting positionals on any of their attacks.
