At E3S NIN somehow climbs over all the ranged except BLM perhaps due to lack of positionals. At E4S the numbers are so close that NIN is more or less interchangeable with any of the non-BLM ranged.
Based on what I see here, if any job needs help, it is RDM more than NIN. NIN will always be wanted for trick attack just like people will always want dancer for its damage buffs. But RDM is consistently worst or second worst DPS and its best raid buff is.. Embolden. Something that buffs only physical damage for the party and with a buff that actually gets worse every few seconds. Why bring a red mage when summoner fills the same niche but with more damage?
