Anyone else think NIN should be able to Goad itself?

Then, knowing you CAN burn your TP fast you should maybe allow Huton to fall off, or intentionally slack a bit on timings to ensure you don't run dry.
The whole point is that you cannot sustain 100% dps for 100% of the time. With a BRD or MCH you can, but without one you need to play in a way that sustains your resource. I'm not sure why you're so against that concept.

I'm not against that concept. Please understand.

I am against the concept of MNK and DRG having bright futures when it comes to TP management and keeping up max DPS during long, no downtime fights while NIN does not, however. With the new skill monk has and the adequate TP management DRG has, they will not have to sacrifice DPS nearly as quickly as a NIN will in long fights without BRD/MCH help.

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.

Last I checked, WoD was a raid. And it was a raid primarily made of pugs.

The other melees are being set up to do fine in long fights due to TP management tools, NIN is not. A MNK and a DRG will be able to stay ahead of a BLM in DPS in future content with Purification and Invigorate, and traited Invigorate and slow skill speed.

NINs can't say the same though, not without getting help from a MCH or BRD. That's not fair at all. If/when Alexander is made pug friendly, or if/when another 24 man is made and a long fight is in either, NINs will be out of luck if they don't get MCH/BRD assistance. MNK and DRG will be fine without them.

Also, many people are unhappy with MCH right now and think it's inferior, yet I still see plenty playing it. Your point? People will play jobs even if they're believed by many to be inferior, that's just how it is.
