Ninja is weak, like very weak.

Interesting you pull the most favorable statistic for supporting your argument here.

But how about you take the whole set of eden savage here and have a look at the big picture?

Now this looks a bit different: A melee DPS clumped together with the performance of a ranged one.

Oh, and let's not forget EX trials, while we are at it.

And who's still on the very bottom, post-gust slash buff?

Someone has to be at the bottom. Would you prefer the dancer mains have to be there? The Bards / Machinists? The question is always what is the spread. Anything more than about 10% DPS potential should probably be looked at.

But simply: Any job that relies on raid utility is going to have less dps because they make the raid better due to their lack of dps. Total raid dps due to trick attack is basically added to NIN DPS total. That's what many aren't doing here and it's not arguing from an honest stand point.

If you want NIN DPS to be higher, Trick Attack needs to be lowered.
