Ninja has the largest skill gap of the three melee. It's incredibly difficult (and dependent on connection speed) to be a very good Ninja. NINs can hold their own with the best DRGs and MNKs, it just takes a lot more skill than either other melee. There's far fewer GOOD Ninjas out there, because many people who play NIN fall victim to the same mentality that caused this thread to be made. When you THINK you can't match up to other melee, you're not going to.
