Ninja is weak, like very weak.

Firstly at what percentile are you looking. Or are you giving estimated averages.

Secondly, the fact that even after figuring rdps (pdps + utility contribution) its still falling short is the issue ppl have. You are not going to take a ninja when even after working extra for trick you still better taking another melee.

Third, oh ninjas are doing secent conpared to other dps? Does this mean ninja can pick up a ranged slot in a party?

75th Percentile:

E1S: https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statisti...s=65&class=Any
E2S: https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statisti...s=66&class=Any
E3S: https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statisti...s=67&class=Any
E4S: https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statisti...s=68&class=Any

At E3S NIN somehow climbs over all the ranged except BLM perhaps due to lack of positionals. At E4S the numbers are so close that NIN is more or less interchangeable with any of the non-BLM ranged.

Looks like NIN has moved up a bit since this thread started.
