Yes. The thing is people saying theyre weak because they dont have huge numbers. Monks rely on fast attack and low gcd. While other classes are doing 1.2k per attack with cast time or cooldown, monks can generate 400 per attack and deliver 3 attacks or more within 2-3secs

Actually no, the thing people say is weak about monks is how hard it is to keep greased lightning up during binding coil thanks to boss mechanics. I personally have not done it as a monk so I will not know how true that is, but one thing i do know is that if greased lightning falls off, a monk's DPS goes down the gutter.

It's not true, I never have an issue keeping my Greased Lightning stacks up on turns 1-4. I don't have any idea where people get the idea that Monks can't keep up their stacks in Coil. Primal HM, sure I can see that. But in Coil? Turn 1, tank/spank. Turn 2, run out, run in. Turn 3, hurr, Turn 4, why can't I hold all these adds?!
