Difference is, NIN will run out of TP far sooner. Not sure how that's balanced.

And again, outside of a static or premade, there's no guarantee you will have a bard or machinist. That's why it's important that melees have decent TP regen too. And when long, low downtime fights come in, all except NIN will. That is not fair or balanced.

Bards particularly also have to be careful of when they sing. Burning your MP on one song, then the healer going down and needing MP when you can't provide it because you spent yours is a real risk.
Since when is pugging considered in a raid situation? And I was already aware that dragoon was ahead of ninjas, which is why I made the fight length comparison. BTW, in case you somehow didn't figure it out, for long fights I was talking about BLM and certainly not a melee class. If one class does better than another 100% of the time and is self sufficient,at that, then why would people play the other class. Yet, I see plenty of people playing ninja.
