NIN's It's time to stand up

[Ixsiehn]

Eh, geirskogul is only a single 200 potency oGCD in AoE once every 60 seconds you cannot refresh BotD during AoE phases, nothing to write home about. its just that Doomspike spam is just better tahn death blossom spam in terms of raw burst AoE in terms of TP efficiency and damage done, although doom spike is in a line. DRGs still have better AoE than NIN atm though.

I also disagree with completely ignoring the category of "utility" and think of "trick attack" and "battle litany" as DPS. They are overall "utility", and personal DPS is another matter of balance.

Balance comes in a form where you take into account every aspect of a class, not just seeing "TA" as a DPS boost to a ninja or disembowel as a DPS boost to the DRG. Mantra in a sense boosts a MNKs dps if you see it as healers needing to heal less and DPS more.
