    As others have said already, yeah NIN is in a very strong place right now. Far from being sidelined, it's one of the most desired DPS to have along! NIN retains its amazing utility via Shadewalker/Smokescreen and Trick Attack, and its raw dps output is fairly high as well. The rotation is so much smoother now than it was in 3.0, with the combo changes. Now that NIN can apply slashing debuff naturally in its rotation (with no dps loss) it frees up parties to use any combination of tanks they please, and also allows SAM to start with a stronger opener.

    As for Mug, are you referring to the item-drop effect? That's mostly for flavor, since truly valuable items in FFXIV mostly drop from chests, or at such low rates that a slight boost is negligible (if it even applies at all in instances). The true value of Mug now is how it builds 30 Ninki gauge, which lets us use powerful 'finishers' quicker. If looking to farm items, you'd definitely be better served killing things faster so you can have more drop chances, so I'd recommend using Mug on cooldown instead of saving it for a last hit attempt.
