19.69 DPS on a majin. Count it. Go look up a Relics DPS. The highest DPS Relic in the game as i know of is Mandau @ 13.3. Does that include the poison effect? I wouldn't think so probably not but im not 100% certain. Shuriken have the highest DPS in the game period. Ninja has the potential to be the best DD in the game but SE made it unrealistically expensive to even think about that route. Anyways once you built up TP go in change to WS gear and Jin.
As NIN/WAR I have 20% Haste in gear, 15% more from the White magic spell, and ~22%(?) more from March x2. In addition to 2 Enhances Dual Wield pieces of gear. Haste and Dual Wield both increase DPS. You are in effect getting roughly doubled DPS because of all these things.
/RNG has...Rapid Shot. No Snapshot merits and no Velocity Shot.

@ Devek. Nin technically IS a DD job. It was intended and thrown into the game as a Puller/DD not a tank. The tanks were War PLD SAM and MNK. People saw how good blink tanking is and started doing it. I could never blink tanks. It takes too much skill and awareness to do. As a result, I take nin down the DD road. I can stay on par in DMG with almost all DD. At lv 42 and I've tanked 3 parties and out damaged most people in ever party I dont tank. SO dont say nin isnt a DD b/c thats just wrong. It depends on how you gear the Job.
Like Devek said, this isn't 2006. The "SE didn't want NIN to tank!" or whatever is tired and irrelevant.
A NIN/RDM or /BLM in the 40-50 level range spamming elemental spells is a top tier DD at those levels. It's not at 57 when WARs are spamming Rampage and you can bust out Blade: Chi or whatever. It's not at 75 when WARs, SAMs, MNKs, DRKs, DRGs, etc all have better WS and the same or higher DoT.
