The animation-stuck on that jumpskill isn´t great at all. It´s not that engaging and while aesthetic has a minor effect to me, i dislike the basic and movement animation too.

No other melee has the feeling of the fast and positional-heavy MNK. DRG is too slow and stucks in his jumps, SAM has everything you want, but even there it´s just "wush wush, midare" and shinten sometimes. Not really fast and engaging at all away from the dashcombo. Haven´t played much RPR yet, but it seems pretty easy and overrated.

MNK with his fast positionals and sometimes heavy button float has been engaging. Especially those TK-BS-TK-BS-TK-BS dance has been great to perform, no matter how easy it was in the end.
That jump skill you dislike is gone at high levels now, replaced with the big combo oGCD. In terms of new stuff, the main things are an extra AoE mechanic and Raiton leading into a combo of 2 GCD gapclosers that are lost if you use a different GCD before them. Some people hate it, but I think judging the right timing for them is a lot of fun. It's the closest I've felt to MNK on another DPS job, even if I don't find some of the animations (mainly the idle stances and basic 1-2-3s, those are what make or break a DPS for me most of the time but I've stuck with NIN cuz it's fun, they're the reason I don't really want to play DRG or SAM because they look so dumpy) as nice as MNK's.

Hell yeah, have a split "promotion" for Rogue like Arcanist has. Either go full weeb into NIN or stay as a dickass thief with Jackie and the gang. I'd love that.
