I don't think yu've seen any good Ninja's. Brawler is pretty OP still for a tank(fairly even with Lancer imo due to the buffs lancer gives its party members). Theres several Ninja's who can easily out dps brawlers on most bosses. The only time atm Brawler and Ninja match in dps is at a boss like Kaprima(Brawler slightly higher) due to its fast attacks and PB's. Also back crit brawler(Verno/Flying Chair/Queen) is equal to Ninja's(might even be higher on certain ones).
Ninja > Brawler > Gunner(Fairly close to brawler) > Reaper.
Also, on bosses where keeping GF isn't possible or harder, Brawler DPS will take a decent hit.
Also note by no means defending Brawlers or saying they aren't strong, but they balance out pretty well I think with how well Lancers can pad the rest of the party DPS.
For newbies: Gunner > Brawler > Ninja > Reaper.
For experienced: Ninja > Gunner > Brawler > Reaper.
Reaper > Brawler > Ninja > Gunner if you really want me to talk about PvP. Trust me gunner can't really catch most people when alone unless people run into skills.
Brawler is a tank class. Not a dps class. When you see tanks at fourth place in dps after a boss, then brawler will be balanced. Until then...
I know it's a fun class. I know it has some new players loving it, but can you wonder how it used to be before brawler? Do you see how some classes just aren't played right now, like slayer, zerk and warrior, since brawler can solo everything faster and easier? Some gameplays are a dead art, people dont make it at all, and if they do ppl complain about it. Can you believe some people make like 4, 5 brawlers just to farm?
If ninjas are so op, why we don't see a full ninja party clear like it used to be with brawler?
It's time for a payback, really. New patches are saying something around 20% dmg nerf on brawler based on ninja. I guess its fair. As a tera lover i'm really tired of people being op just using unbalaced things in their favor, despising who want to play different. Sorry. I'm not sorry, actually.
