You really are helpless in fights.
There is no way to make up for difficulty of a monster by skill.

Sure, you can dodge AoEs. You can stun, some classes can heal themselves, but those are not the classes i'm talking about. I know WAR is a solo machine.
But as a NIN or MNK, what are you gonna do? It becomes a simple "Who gets the other's HP to 0 first".
I often wish there was a way to actually avoid damage by skillful play.
