I HATE tanking, dislike healing, and have played every other DPS class, but don't like any of them. DRG buffs won't change the fact that I loathe positionals. I've been playing since 2.0 launch, but am seriously considering unsubbing. It's just not fun anymore.

Is it that important to you to be the 2nd highest dps in the game? Why is it such a problem when Dragoons will be sharing that spot with Ninjas?

DPS isn't important. I'm afraid they're going to add positionals. which is something that I've seen over and over on this forum as something the "majority" wants added. That would count as a "nerf", yes. Besides, parties tend to only want the *best* DPS, they're not going to take a third-rate class seriosuly. I already get dumped on for maining SMN as it is, I wanted to have a decent time playing melee while having to sit out the Ironworks fiasco. Damn me for being hopeful.

Oh, nah, they're not. TA is a positional, but they won't add any more than that unless they come with the new moves in the expansion.

So every party uses 4 Monks as their dps?

I doubt that.

Naw progression groups will still stick with the 2 monk 1 bard 1 caster/extra bard setup. Totally outways the 2% at best with god luck that TA give dps wise and even worse after the nerf causing ninja to suffer on tp

When has SE nerfing anything ever balanced anything? They nerfed BRD and SMN cross skills and now they're two of the lowest DPS classes in the game. The ONLY time adjustments ever balance classes is when they BUFF a job, like when they changed WAR to be on par with PLD.

NIN is just going to be another SMN after this, something that requires a ridiculous amount of effort all just to be subpar to other classes.
