PLD, WHM, and MNK clear content just fine. Yea, they're not ideal for world-class speed-runs. How many people crying in this topic play at that level?

How many of these people cared about sidelined DRGs / NINs during early A8S prog when traited Mantra was extremely helpful?
DRG and NIN weren't sidelined. World second and world third A8S used DRG/NIN without a MNK. The world third even used an AST. Its literally been proven mantra was never needed in early A8S progression. The world first having a MNK didn't change DRG/NIN being the more popular combination in A8S. MNK also got destroyed by DRG/NIN in early clear rates on FFlogs for creator. The first week DRG had 10x more clears then MNK (and MNK hasn't caught up since then. 1153 A12S DRG clears vs 635 for MNK). MNK is a useless job right now and the only reason to use one is if you can't find a more skilled DRG/NIN for your static.
