Why is Ninja always the weakest melee?

[Anhra]

Because SE hates actual utility and job synergy. All this began with drg+brd piercing debuff and trick attack 10% vuln.

Instead of figuring out interesting ways to make other jobs bring interesting things or sheer power, they make everything simple in terms of job design. Though they still can't balance that well...

Ninja has a damage buff for the party every minute so you get a tax

What really annoys me is how Squeenix handles Dps- and Mitigation Buffs. Instead of giving, for example, a Tank a -30% dmg recieved Buff or Buffing already existing ones, they instead distribute those Buffs evenly among all Jobs, so that everyone gets that silly +5% to +10% bonus instead.

Just give only Tanks the dmg mitigation tools, only healers the heal modifiers and only dps Jobs their damage increase.
