Yeah it's not like MNK was outperforming every DPS apart from RPR (and even then only in certain circumstances). MNK didn't even really need a buff.

Most job balance is irrelevant in low level/difficulty content because it's filled mostly with people who don't make full use of their job's abilities. You have to look at the best players and their parses to see if a job is overperforming or not. Who cares whether a Reaper does more damage than a Dancer in a dungeon? Player skill plays far more into it at that level than job balance, and it has massive variance. Whereas, to make the difference ridiculous, if a rank 1 Astro was outdamaging a rank 1 Black mage, you would know without a shadow of a doubt that there were balancing issues.
