the ninja ... everything it does another dps can do it better ...

[qcslayer]

trick attack and goad are two very useful abilities, the slashing resistance debuff is nice but its only help tanks and others ninjas. I feel like the ninja not enough utility to ignore the terrible aoe and the average single target dmg it bring to a team.

compared to the ninja the bard has a weak single target dps but i think it is the 2nd/3rd best aoe dps in the game and his utility is the best since he can remove debuffs , double the effectiveness of his songs, My friend that was only playing his black mage was really enjoying the 20% magic resistance debuff from a boosted foe requiem

the gunner utilities and aoe's are a bit weaker than the bard but its super strong opener ( 2400-2500) dmg from wildfre in lvl 50 content) make his single target dps much better. i think a skilled gunner can bring a good mix of single target, aoe and utility to a team wich make it a very versatile dps that can fit in almost every team comps.
