Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

IIRC correctly, that's how MNK, DRG and NIN are balanced, right ?

The thing about raid DPS is both NIN and DRG have all the good utilities and they can output comparable damage. MNK becomes the selfish DPS that doesn't offer anything else other than the huge damage that matters way less than the 2 counterparts buffing the group raid DPS. No DRG means no Litany and your BRD/MCH will QQ. No NIN means no TA and that your MT will QQ. Both DRG and NIN give additional DPS that the raid enjoys which outweighs heavily the personal DPS that MNK brings. This is why you don't see any serious speedrun taking MNK, PLD (Faust Z parse has a 0:57 timing with PLD but the fight is short enough that PLD can still be used). Off calculation (i know its wrong to just compare 1 skill but whatever), FoF has more than 1/2 uptime VS Darkside at full uptime which means that you can "say" that FoF at face value wins by about 50% damage (overall 15% dmg from FoF for 1/2 uptime vs 10% dmg from Darkside for full uptime). Brain cancer-ed myself. Normally you have 1/3 uptime for FoF (that's 10%), but for this fight you enjoy about >>15% because it ends faster (0:57 timing), compare that to the flat 15% for full uptime for Darkside.
