The Monk Temple

[Lev]

Hey monks, I have a few questions

-Does our survivability increase because i find myself popping my cooldowns and having to wait between normal open world solo encounters.
-Does our DPS increase later on and how does it compare to other classes? My PUG's dps seems lower than my lancers around level 20,
-does it get more fluid cause right now it seems pretty clunky

Ill see you around Eorzea

Hey guys. I can just put my axe and books down anywhere, right?(started off with WAR, then got SCH and SMN{WAAAAY UNDERWHELMED with SMN}) Just got to monk today, have to say, rockbreaker is badass.

Early levels are pretty rough, I found myself constantly burning through defensive cds too just to take down a single enemy of equal level. Later it gets a bit easier though (past 30 or so), you get access a stun on fairly short cooldown, and access to some more cross-class defensive cooldowns from Marauder and Lancer as you make the transition from pugilist to monk, that really helps. Grabbing some dungeon gear can make the leveling alot smoother too.
