It does better damage, has no crippling positional requirements, has better survivability, better party utility, and on top of that it flat out moves faster, so it's easier to dodge AOE. If it wasn't for the need to build limit break and the fact that MNK does the highest damage and provides good utility then NIN would invalidate it too.NIN's also getting nerfed via TP costs according to that letter. Might get a hit on damage, but I doubt it'll be sufficient enough to not make it king of utility.
Our DRG is looking forward to these buffs. He was going to quit and change to MNK because he can't stand eating dirt every time magic damage AOE (aka all of them) crits. It needs all the help it can get.
They pretty much seemed to have hit the nail on the head with the buffs too - less positional restrictions, more MagDef.
