To those who main a DPS since day one, I salute you. Coming from other MMOs such as "DC Universe" and "Final Fantasy XI" where I was either a main healer or main support, I decided to be a DPS this time.

Although I started this game as a CNJ, I became a BRD by the end of October 2013. When ROG released, I ended up making it my main to this day. When I sit and think about how much work I have to put into my NIN, about how much I have to stress keeping damage up, it's a LOT of work. One false move can sometimes knock you down on the dps charts.

While I definitely enjoy my NIN, I sometimes can't help but wonder if I made the right choice. For solo play, I'm fine. But when I get into groups, it's a whole new ball game out there. I considered going back BRD, but from what I read, BRD is expected to deal tons of damage as well since the inclusion of Wanderer's Minuet. I did like how I ran a dungeon on BRD, and the tank pulled about 6 mobs. I somehow stayed Number 2 on the list by hitting each mob with both "bites" then refreshing those with "Jaws" by scrolling through each mob in the list.

But, yeah... You career DPS players deserve more credit than you've been getting.
