Just play mnk with a nin to give them free tp. This game has done a brilliant job to encourage synergy over stacking a single job. In the VAST majority of all cases whm+sch is better than doubles. War+pld better than doubles. 4 of 1 dps is inferior to a number of more rounded out setups and nin looks to expand this concept instead of crap on it.

Ironically, mnk is the only dps you could have 4 of and give other combinations a run for their money in raw power, but is so limited in other non-combat qualities that it's not practical.
Oh, I wasn't arguing that ninja is broken or over power...or even under powered. Real testing will have to be done to determine where it stands. I was just simply stating that GCD between monk and ninja should be roughly the same due to Huton pending uptime of course. Eyeball comparisons of skills and potency alone won't tell us anything until we get some real hands on testing to see uptimes on buffs or the frequency at which you'll be able to use certain skills.
