Least Played or Most Wanted DPS Class for End Game (as of now)

[Subucnimorning]

At that moment, if we wanted monks to be competitive in terms of DPS, bosses should be immobile and have no aoe spells around them.
GL buff mechanic does not work with, i guess, any of the endgame encounters.

A shame. Monk is a fun job to play but ,somehow, when you can't be in ranged for more than 10 seconds, plus you add terrible lag server, well i understand why very few people play monk and/or are least wanted for endgame.

Turns 1, 2, and 4 (3 doesn't count) are very monk friendly, not sure about 5 haven't done it yet.

It's not even about the parser. SMN dots tick for 500+ every 3 seconds if you're geared, and even more when RS is up. If you did nothing else but keep your dots refreshed and didn't use your pet, that's 170 dps. Ruin hits for more than 200, so even if we round it down to 200, that's an extra 80~ dps.

So, let's ignore crits and 1k+ Festers to make up for the GCD's that you'll spend refreshing dots, and that's 250 DPS. With Relic+1 and some Allagan/AF2, Garuda DPS is enough to push you well over 300dps.

what?

I'm in DL + relic +1 and allagan ring. Bio/bioII/miasma tick for about 260-280

Potential: MNK = DRG >BLM=SMN>BRD
Reality, due to game current behavior of most content: BRD=SMN>BLM>DRG>MNK

Is this a bad time to say that as a SCH I'm pulling 260+ DPS on titan? In cleric stance ofc.

No, you don't.

Let me correct you here, just for funsies!

In a serious Free Company that can bring out the potential: MNK = DRG >BLM=SMN>BRD

Due to ingame PUGs behavior: BRD=SMN>BLM>DRG>MNK

DRG and MNK doing more DPS than BRD and BLM, sure mate.

[Rilr]

MNK does more damage than BRD if boss mechanics wouldn't be so fucked up and if they can keep up their GL stacks.

People should stop trusting the parser so much. And also stop trusting other people who trust the parser. SMN is by no means the best DD in this game and on top of that with such a huge advantage compared to the other classes. Why can't you realize that it's utter shit if you say that SMN does 30-50% more damage than all the other classes.

Monks do yes, never met a good monk? Monks dps insane, just 99 % of monks cant play. I've not met yet any class/player who did more dps than me on my server and tanks are crying rivers cuz they have to work for keepin aggro. Ppl sayin that Bards are doing more dmg than Monk, even with all that movement stuff have absolutly NO clue abt the monk and/or maybe just met bad/standart monks.

Edit: I should probably stream Titan HM farm, Coil 1-5 to show ppl what a monk is capable of. Sadly my upload speed sucks so bad :-/
