I started the game as NIN and pretty much mained it up until DNC was released. I've always wanted to play DNC and took up NIN cause it seemed the closest (animation-wise). But aside from really wanting to play DNC, NIN's lack of damage output solidified my change. Like, for such a punishing job, you don't hit as hard and that was a real bummer to me. Seeing 100k crit on DNC really showed how much NIN lacked in the damage department. :/

Plus, while playing NIN, I came to enjoy becoming a support job. So I was sad that Shadewalker and Smokescreen were removed. I loved helping out healers when they accidentally aggro during mob pulls with their regens and helping tanks with their tank swaps. RIP aggro management...
