I wouldn't be opposed to NIN doing more solo or light-party damage (and less alliance raid damage) but, again, what does it matter if your parse is a little lower before your rDPS is tallied and you're placed back on top? If you want pure personal damage, there are jobs aplenty for exactly that already. Do you believe your preference constitutes a large enough portion of the NIN playerbase that greatly devaluing iconic tools, per their traditional purpose, would be justified? (Not a rhetorical question.)
Yes I do.
Everyone wants to do more damage, who wouldn't take a 10% extra damage buff at the cost of 2% to everyone elses for 15 seconds. Maybe there are some carebears that would happily lose the 10% so the chads can pump. However I do think many would love a 10% increase during their supposed burst window.
