Ninja seems a bit broken

[aabe]

Full uptime on a buff equal to GL3 skillspeed, 12% less damage (Venoms vs GL3 + FoF)

The latter, and traited mantra are the only things I can think of that MNK has, that Ninja doesn't. Everything else, NIN has it but better except for I guess dragon kick if you wanna count the fact that it reduces magic attacks.


MNK's top potency combo; BS, TS, Snap, bootshine is an assumed crit so.. 225+190+180, vs NIN's base Aeolian edge combo 670. DoT finisher (1+2+shadow fang) 790 potency. Throw in a WAR keeping up eye, Nin will pull even sillier numbers.

Ninjutsus? 2 seconds of downtime or so for GL3 tier skill speed. Kassatsu into Raiton for 540 potency (guaranteed crit). Katon for 2 mobs or more, 270 potency per mob. Suiton for 180, Trick Attack for the highest base potency in the game of 420 + 10% global damage debuff 10seconds, probably very silly with more than 1 NIN. Other skills more PvP focused, or situational in PvE.

As far as I can tell NIN has much better support than MNK, Mantra just isn't as useful as TP restoration. Higher potencies across the board overall, by far. I just hope I'm not the only one thinking it'll be a bit too strong.
