yeah, if only they could do the same for NIN
I pull 500+ DPS as a Ninja. They're the best burst melee dps in the game at the moment and give amazing group support.
Vulnerability? Yes please.
Bonus slashing damage? yes please.
sure they're no Monk with dragon kick - but geeze, a monk in similar gear will only ever pull 20-40 dps more than me.
Okay i'll bite on this one...
DRG is the best burst melee in the game. Its kind of what they do. For about 25 secs they wreck so much face its crazy. If the Monk's you're seeing are only pulling slightly more DPS than you with equivalent gear then I can only assume the mechanics work against them (They often do, keeping GL up is very annoying sometimes.) or they're just not giving it their all / not very good ect.
A great monk is unparalleled melee wise if the fight is kindish to them and they have some real skill with the class. NIN is still a great class, by no means weak, but it IS the weaker of the three melee but not by a massive amount. SE did a great job balancing them in my opinion. I like them all if truth be told. XD
As or vulnerability / slash debuff. A friend of mine once said, and quite harshly at that, "Why would you take a NIN when you could take a MNK?". While I don't exactly agree with that sentiment, I do see their point. XD
