NINJA :

Sneak Attack

This spell is just useless, just change it.
Make it like a powerless OGCD attack OR the third combo attack of shadowfank, even if it's still from face and lower potency, still better than a useless 500 potency...

Machinist

Increase Proc chance to 65% on Split and Slug and lower clean shot potency down to 190 for compensation
Remove Potency on Blank, lowering the cd on reload to 40 secs while increasing the cd of Blank Shot to 40 secs as well
Gauss rifle to a 10 sec cd would be nice
Switch Head graze to a stun and supressive to a silence (Silence is basically useless in this game now.)
Potency on lead shot to 50 so atleast we could slightly compete with the bard's DoT damage

Monks:
give an offensive raid wise ability that some other job has but with lower potency (as a cross-class, like from nin or drg, since both of them can take mantra)

add a +5 % magic damage received on the target on some unique monk skill (like true strike/demolish) to be an equivalent of the piercing buff from drg/slashing buff on nin at least until there is a blunt damage type job other then mnk (temporary fix).

While it will not be enough to put them on the same level with other melee jobs contribution (to the raid), it will make them more acceptable in the raid.

At this moment, they are like the least wanted melee jobs because of the current raid and job design (harsh dps checks that require synergy of offensive capabilities, and monk doesn't have any, nor has the offensive potential that would allow him to justify the lack of them ) .

I'm fairly sure that any mob that is hit while Turret is HC, will get the Vuln debuff. (either Magic or Phys depending on Turret)

Bard

Increase the Straight Shot buff duration (the buff that increases your Crit % by 10, not the Straighter Shot proc from Heavy Shot) to 24s and the Straighter Shot proc timer to 12s.

Make Iron Jaw instant cast

Reason:

The time constraint on using these skills is too tight, especially when multidotting and refreshing dots with IJ.

Instant Cast on IJ will reduce the level of clipping, and paired with the extended Straight Shot buff duration will allow for a smoother dot application and makes it possible to dot 4 targets before a refresh making bard less clunky overall. This also allows for a smoother use of RoD for AOE situations while simultaneously refreshing dots with IJ.

Slightly better freedom of movement while under WM.
