MNK or NIN?

How would that be balance? There are already plans to buff dragoons to put them there where the other melees are now, it wouldn't make sense to nerf ninjas to have monks and dragoons topping the meters. Ninjas right now are in their right place and don't need a nerf, only dragoons can't be ignored anymore and do need a buff which they are getting.

Well you have to think a bit further. Why would you bring a DRG if NIN had the same dps but gave you utility on top? You wouldnt.
Assuming same dps people would still ignore DRG.

Just a thought, but wouldn't that require a complete re-work of DRG though?

Wouldnt need to be that complicated actually. Notice how dragon kick, dancing edge and storms eye all have an additional debuff on top of the resistance down (INT and Heal down respectively)? You could just add such a debuff to disembowel like lets say -5% dmg and bam DRG has utility.

This assumes the buff would not include utility as well. I'm inclined to believe SE understands how players value it at this point. Best case scenrio is they add utility to DRG, so it will be a case of choosing which utility is best for your group.
