Is the Ninja nerf really needed?

[Elazu]

My NIN was beating it at a much lower level. *shrug*

Again, MNK's only comparable under ideal circumstances, which rarely exist in this game. NIN is pretty much not reliant on "circumstances"

Playing with the wrong Monks then.

If you think Monk is always the highest DPS in any situation you're very much mistaken. Monk is easily the highest potential single-target DPS, there's no dispute. However, that kind of performance is highly situational and fight mechanics in the majority of the game don't really match Monk's ideal environment.

And you think the same is not true of Ninja?

MNK is already nerfed IMO due to the various mechanics of most of the fights in this game. I don't think MNK should be judged based only on what it can do under ideal circumstances when those circumstances rarely exist anyway.

So by that logic Dragoon is fine because T13 can be beaten with 3 Dragoons and a Bard, right?
