    [melee dps] any role similar to BRD/DNC

    Any of the melee roles that bring some utility to the group? Im aware BRD and DNC are the "utility" dps roles but there might one of the melee roles that brings a bit more group util over any other role.

    Thanks in advance.

    Any of the melee except for Samurai bring some variant of utility. In the case of NIN and MNK, they both give a 5% buff to dps, both 60s and 90s respectively, while DRG gives a 5% damage boost with its tether to one person of your choice, and extra crit to everyone in the form of Battle Litany.

    Yes this is exactly what I was after and needed. So the only difference between MNK and NIN is the timer?

    Thanks alot for your input!

    Monk also has Mantra, an AoE buff that increases healing received--a situational form of defensive utility that has honestly been one of the more interesting things in Monk's toolkit (that's saying something, unfortunately).
