Returning DPS question? Nin/mnk/drg

[Snow_Leonhart]

Thx for the info. I know the raid community prefers NIN over MNK but how do their personal dps compare. I saw a thread where a guy said the NIN has utility but hits like a wet noodle. Lol. Is it that bad?I only got my NIN to 60 and it doesn't feel too weak but I don't have all the skills yet so I don't really know

Wet noodle? That's a gross exaggeration. For example, you go look at certain lumberjack websites, and you decide to look at DPS rankings at the 95th percentile (people who KNOW what they're doing) for Chaos, you'll find NIN at the bottom. However, what you'll also find is that next 4 DPS up the totem pole don't even surpass NIN by 100 dps. In case you're not getting the point, this means the difference isn't by much.

Yea I get what your saying. I kinda got the itch to play monk but the positionals and chance of dropping gl3 mid fight scares me. Plus if I'm the only melee dps am I really that helpful to the group? Might just stick with drg till I see changes to MNK. Where do u get those percentiles that tell u how ppl do in raids with a certain job?
