That's why I'm kinda sticking with solely NIN right now (not to mention my static loves having Trick Attack, so I'm glued to this job). If there are mistakes, I can usually identify what mechanic I messed up on. When I have a smooth run where I've made no mistakes and everything in my rotation is on point, that's where the bulk of my problems come from. For example, I am using the 5th GCD TA for the vast majority of my runs, as are a lot of the other top NINs I've looking up. Yet, they're pulling out about 1.5k or higher DPS than I am. It's very hard to not be critical about myself when faced with this fact.

It's hard to not be critical when there are plenty of forum members here who are absolutely killing it on the current raid. I would know - I often compare myself to them to see if I can be called a raider.
