Monks very weak. Need rebalance

[neoreturn]

Monk is weakest DPS. I completely agree. No group looking for monk, that's very sad. it is noting to do with your skill, rotation, or gear what ever. It is very logical and printed on the paper.
1 monk has lowest Dmg based on skill
2 monk does not hit faster than any other class, same global CD
3 monk has hardest buffer to boost their DPS
4 monk is melee class with weakest armor
Monk need love in this game. They should increase monk attack speed by at least 30%.

The monk class in AAR recall me the monk in DIABLO III.
After a long debate, blizzard realized monk was suck.

Good answer. I agree. I dont know other people say about "monk is a very good dps". He is very weak in solo combat, he has no any good AoE, he has no any long range skill (even lancer has) and his skills are very unbalanced. Monk is a weakest for not and it is a fact

1. We have the lowest potency on our skills because we have a lower GCD.
2. A 2 second GCD isn't faster than a 2.5 GCD? Every 5th attack is a free GCD that every other class doesn't get.
3. True. Though you -can- start a fight with Perfect Balance and just SPx3 for full GL stacks, but I don't really think that's optimal.
4. It's a trade off vs. DRG. They have more PDEF, we have more MDEF, WAR/PLD have more of both because they're tanks. Also, unavoidable damage aside, you shouldn't be getting hit by anything, so defense becomes a non-issue(not that this is even an issue...)

People need to start realizing that many smaller, fast hits, still add up to the same amount as a bigger, more infrequent one.

They need to increase the buff duration on GL stacks for sure. Or, if they are going to continue to make fights so melee unfriendly(which is very likely, if the industry is any indication), some other way to conserve them. A ranged chakra attack, with a medium cool down(30 seconds) that applies GL. Alternatively, just give me a 1 minute CD, let's call it Meditation, where I can hit it and stop my stacks from dropping off, up to x seconds for those pesky primal disconnects.
