Is NIN better job than MNK?

[Resine]

I started to play this game as a SMN, but due to a lot of issues i switched to the MNK without reading much about other classes.
I wonder if NIN is superior to MNK?
When i look from the perspective for those 2 classes, is like
MNK has to keep his stacks, sometimes he is not able to do it due to mechanics, losing them causes a lot of DPS loss. While NIN just casts a buff that lasts for 70seconds without worrying about anything.
Then the MNK has to jump like crazy from flank to rear, while NIN just stays in one place. They are pretty similar when it comes to DPS
Is there anything that i missed about MNK? It seems way more challenging without having any beneficial.

Dragon Kick, man, Dragon Kick. The Final Coil of Bahamut should be renamed to Final Coil of Dragon Kick. That ability has such batshit insane utility there, especially in T13. Like nearly all of Bahamut's attacks are magical (auto-attacks, Earthshakers and Flatten's initial hits aside). My group doesn't have a MNK (single melee with DRG) and we do fine, but it feels a lot more brutal than compared with having a MNK. Basically need to spam heals more in situations where you could omit a heal having a MNK present and then some people might need to gauge more VIT via having one more accessory on them, which cripples more of their main stat from that.

It sounded like MNK would be better choice just for the one dungeon in the game...

But apart from 1 single Raid... Ninja holds up if not surpasses MNK in most instances.

DPS wise MNK tops Ninja. The only place where MNK gets his ass handed to him in coil is T13 arguably. But the Dragon Kick though

I've yet to see a MNK top my DPS in a viable instance.

That could just be assosiated to the fact those MNKs were bad, in a Single target DPS Race, a MNK will pull ahead by a good bit. But this requires the MNK to be very good and be able to keep his Greased lightning up. MNK is harder to keep max DPS during "most" fights, that's why they have the highest Damage potential. Where as a NIN can just plow through and don't lose too much against Jump mechanics or periods of invincibility.

It depends on the length of time invulnerability happens for. Mnks dps rises and then plateaus at max dps. Nins rises and falls with the use of trick attack usage like a sind wave. Drgs dps rises sharply and falls sharply around the use of their jumps like a sawtooth wave.

The longer the disconnect, the more it affects all the jobs equally. I find it may favor mnk more if the have PB at certain intervals or if the disconnect allows drg to line up all their jumps (or just two) and B4B/IR.

I was on full i120 and a couple i130 augmented where-as he was on majority i120 and a couple i130 Dread gear and i130 Magitek MNK weps so I'm assuming he is some-what skilled and this is throughtout World of Darkness on all bosses, I don't think it could get much fairer than that really, and we were mostly neck and neck sometimes around +/-20 difference to eachother but apart from that not much in it.

Most dps perform half assed rotations on 24 man content.
