Where is the hp?

[LuckyKnuckles]

I was actually hoping/expecting Monk to have the highest hp, as to give it better survivability. Has high hp not been 1 of monk's staple characteristics true to the job? I fail to understand why that is missing. Hopefully in 2.0 monk will be adjusted to have more hp than most or all other jobs.

Thanks for your news flash Eeikekeiki, but FF11 was not the only FF game that had monk with high hp. Every FF game besides 14 that I have played had monk with high hp if not the highest. It is a monk staple characteristic. SE said that they want ppl to know they are playing FF. Idk why you wouldn't care to admit that? Maybe you just don't care b/c you are a monk hater? Idk... but do your research next time you want to reply to a post, ok little fella^^

A number of classes in this game stray from FF archetypes. MNK's versatility doesn't rely on HP either. It relies on on evasion, partial recovery, and burst damage.

Who needs HP with a 45 second insta-heal button?

MNK has always been more about the high physical damage than about the HP. I know thats why i've used them whenever they are available in a FF game.

I've been using Monks in all of FF games as well and yes the High HP IS a characteristic of the job and I miss it as well.
I don't have high hopes for this to be impemented in version 2.0 but I want it to be done.

from my experience, the high hp of the monk in the early game was a simple way to show that the monk was tough to take down. When we have all these defensive and supportive abilities in XIV, we don't need plain HP stacking.

Thank you Rau for an intelligent answer. Although Monk does have some decent survivability in other ways, I still don't like the fact that SE seems to be straying from the classic archetypes. I'm old school, and like it that way. Also I don't see the harm in just adding better hp to monk as it stands. It don't have to have the highest hp of all the jobs. I would just like to see monk have at least higher hp than most jobs.
