Disembowel: Please Fix this Mess

[Bourne_Endeavor]

I'd say that NIN is more problematic than DRG tbh, even if a caster comp was a thing you would still run a NIN.
Frankly my fear is that removal of disembovel would just evolve in removal of trick attack, bortherhood and so on.
Imho the problem is that some jobs make you feel like not pulling your weight in the group and make you doubt that if you went with another job the pull would've been better.
As such they should fix that part either with added utility or direct dmg. Removing something is simply a step towards homogenization, because of triple melee beign much more effective than before I say that disembowel is not as strong as it was. I mean fastest kill on 07s has a SMN thanks to multidotting perhaps, but fight mechanics are an addendum on balance or so I believe.
I Understand that it sucks that 5% of your dmg is locked by having or not a jobn in the party, but I guess anyone could say the same for the absence of a certain buff in a fight if you think about it.

... what?

How can you remotely compare Disembowel and Trick Attack or Brotherhood? The latter two buff the entire raid whereas Disembowel solely benefits two jobs outside DRG itself. Look over this log. 842.5 came from Trick Attack. Split between seven people, that equates to an average of 120 rDPS. Disembowel gave 297.4 to Bard only. Therefore, Piercing equates for nearly three times the damage increase of Trick Attack. No other buff in the game impacts two specific jobs as severely. I raid with a Monk, thus I don't have Trick. While inferior, Brotherhood offsets the loss to a point. Bard and Machinist have literally no alternative to Piercing. They simply lose 300 damage on top of the losses of Battle Litany and Dragon Sight.

To exemplify this better, look at this log which lacks DRG. Everyone has either obtained orange or were meager points away. The Bard? 55% and nearly 600 below the Ninja, who ranked third in overall damage. Their damage is nowhere near the other three DPS all because someone chose Monk and Ninja over Dragoon.
