Alternatives to "nerfing" ninja

[Barboron]

Alternative to nerfing NIN:

Players could actually play the other DPS classes well so they actually have good DPS rather than complaining that other classes are higher.

I give an early first goad to the bard (when I see him invigorate) and the second one to the monk. It helps stave off paeon more effectively this way imo.

Eh...what? That doesn't relate to anything in my comment. BRD's aren't gimped because they get a DPS loss due to songs. That's their utility. The main comparison is to other melee DPS. A good DRG can do good DPS but they do lack utility really which is it.

What might be nice if their invigorate trait buff acted like an AoE invigorate. Perhaps a 400TP still to the DRG and 200 to all party members in a radius.

They should do that, it alone would make them just as desirable as NIN since NIN would be a more powerful single target HoT TP restoration and DRG's would be a less potent party burst TP restore.
