    That's not true at all. Quelling Strikes can be used by BLMs, BRDs, SMNs, and MCHs. Enmity tables also don't show a SMN's overall DPS because their pet has an individual enmity table. A NIN can use Smoke Screen on you and your enmity will be reduced. A NIN can use Shadewalker and their enmity will be reduced. A Dragoon can use Elusive Jump and their enmity will take a massive instant cut. In other words, MNK is the sole DPS job whose job performance you can most accurately tell by looking at their enmity, and that's only without a NIN in the party.

    It's funny, because in MMOs I've played where parsers are completely legal and the majority of the playerbase uses them, you can tell who's a great DPS by seeing how much they're parsing without being high on the threat list due to them using their threat-reducing abilities correctly. In this game, doing exactly what the best DPS would do in another game will often just make you look like a scrub in the eyes of an uninformed player.
