But the MCH physical damage boost benefits monks more than any other job. So you would think that less bards and more machinists would mean more monks. Also, if we go that route, you would also think that there would be more mnk/drg setups because both classes have no magic damage and have a higher physical damage output than ninja. So I feel like groups are preferring ninja because their utility is vastly superior to that of drg or mnk. And then making a decision to bring more offensive utility as opposed to defensive utility (and also to focus less on boosting melee dps and focusing on ranged or party dps).
