The amount of times I've gone into a party and had someone say "Wow at first I doubted you but you're first Monk I've seen DPS properly with the job" Shows me our Monk population really needs to get busy and better. Thanks to Noctis and the other good Monks stepping forward I don't really need to say anything that hasn't been said.


I would however like to reiterate a point Noctis just made, A bad monk will perform worse than a bad Drg, or a bad Brd, like wise a good Monk will outperform everyone on DPS.

Even though I play Monk , I get pretty weary if I have a random Monk I don't know in the party, and usually the DPS they put out isn't really that great. This is a problem, but not a problem with a job. It's a problem with the skill level of people on Monk.

We don't need any tweaks, we need a community guide.

Also, Monk isn't rotation based, It's priority and decision making. That's why no one can settle on a "best" rotation.

Mnk - High Skill cap, High execution entry barrier
Drg - High Skill cap, Medium Entry barrier
Brd - Medium Skill cap, Very low Entry barrier
Smn - Medium Skill cap , Medium Entry Barrier
Blm - Low Skill cap - Low Entry Barrier
