If SE adds more fights like that, NIN in its current state will be TP starved very quickly, even quicker and when the boss has even higher health most likely.

Also, dummy testing can be accurate when compared to certain fights. It simulates a no-downtime boss quite well. Like the dragon, there is no downtime on dummy testing. I think given that SE added Purification in the first place insinuates there may be further TP heavy fights in the near future.

And yeah, I'm aware. I've mentioned a few times now that in addition to the traited invigorate, Dragoon also has a slower skill speed to slow TP burn. DRG's damage is quite on par with monk and NIN now though. They don't need the skill speed to keep the damage up.
