Monks very weak. Need rebalance

Monks in real life; when provoked to fight don't need to be sneaky and sucker punch people. No need to over analyze my method of speech.

If you can string your own combos and hit enemies from any angle it gives you more freedom to enjoy the job. Instead of standing on the side like a dud, stringing that one go to combo. You have to understand this game takes a long time, and there is A LOT of fights; being forced to do the same thing and being penalized for not sticking to a side for hundreds, thousands of fights is NOT fun. It's not hard to move, it's just NOT FUN.

It's ok to have ONE skill that hits for higher damage from the back or side, but a majority of the moves, or the main combo you'll be using. You have to glue yourself to the side. How do you do this when fighting a boss like the wall? And I don't have to mention solo fighting.

Turn 2 with LB3

Dude, you used LB3, remove 30k Dmg, you are below other DPS.

LB3 hits for 12-15k. He's still significantly above everyone, on a fight that is not completely melee friendly. T.K.O.

I hope they don't touch Monk. The best DD I've seen is Monks, out DD DRG etc a lot. Most people just don't know how yet and that's what an FF game is suppose to be like :-)

To all who thinks that Monk DPS is already enough.

Let those people who think otherwise to make more noise so that we all could be BUFF!!!

I'd like Greasing Light to have a longer duration.. seriously. Mantra is also pretty stupid congrats you healed 1 second faster. Fist of Winds is also minuscule (what? we run 3% faster?).

Your entire post is a contradiction, if you actually knew the class really well and how to play it you would know MNKs have the one of best sustained DPS in the game. With that said Mnks can use some adjustments to make the class smoother to play for harder content and boss fights. All the primals HM disappear or do something where its annoying to keep GL stacks up. With my AF wep the highest crit I got so far was 650 and auto atk crits for 250.

People really need to stop thinking they know everything about a class, dumb threads like these will take MNKs in the wrong direction.

Can't tell if trolling... or serious. Are you talking about sustained DPS on target dummies? Cause if you are... wow...

You really have no clue how DPS is calculated do you? If you hit for 12-15k in ONE hit its going to substantially increase your DPS and F up the reading.

The fight was 187 seconds long (61,000 dmg / 331 dps). Remove 15,000 damage and instead of doing 331 dps he did 245 dps. Considering 2nd place dps did 187 dps, he still did 58 more dps compared to 2nd place. That is still 31% more dps than the 2nd place guy.

Now granted, he may have much better gear than the other guy, but still; 31% more damage is pretty impressive.

It´s One hit but with long casting time

U need to take dmg/Time for calculate dps

And in monk it´s happen that GL fade during the LB cast+animation ...
