    That said you also have a weaker dps utility (probably because its a part of your pdps as well) and your weaker utility shouldnt be given higher value over a stronger utility, cuz then wjat is the point of that utility being stronger?
    Mantra's "utility", much like Smn's ability to Raise, should not be something used to tax either job if they aren't going to address the mechanical complexity of either one. Even after taking away our tornado kick openers with the perfect balance nerf, and essentially forcing us to try and use simpler rotations to get that Bootshine damage, our openers are still some of the busiest in the game, and Smn's have been complaining about how much effort they have to put into their jobs to remain competitive for years at this point. This is even after True North got charges and Riddle of Earth got the absurd buff it did. The former is another button to add to an already very busy rotation, while the latter is something we have to take damage after activating in order to get the most out of it. Both feel like band-aids to try and address the fact that yes, our positional requirements ARE pretty demanding in raid environments, and they make us a lot busier than most other melee dps not named Nin.

    It's a similar issue that you ought to be familiar with since you have a Nin at 80, where trick attack has been stupidly used by some members of the community to justify putting your job near the bottom of the DPS heap. Oftentimes, these arguments have been made in complete ignorance of the sheer mechanical complexity for what you need to do just to not only be competitive, but also just to provide a strong contribution to your team outside of Trick. Heck, you're in another thread essentially calling for better Nin pdps, and your job has very good mechanical reasons to justify buffs.

    I understand perfectly what you mean, It's just exceedingly bad and dumb. Get outta here with that "RNG doesn't mean anything" and "i see u main JOB im mad about" if you want to be taken seriously.
