You can't do perfect balance on every single pull to start with DK =]. If you were in Oppo you'd start every single fight period with Twin Snakes DMG buff and DK Blunt res/Int Debuff, which would actually increase over all DPS in dungeons by quite a lot.

Take away all buffs? Why would we do that? o_o. That's all part of the class. You can't just throw potency numbers from classes then take away the buffs that balance those numbers in the first place lol.

If we didn't have GL at all? Not entirely,we'd just be a bunch weaker which would ruin the balance. If we had a completely different mechanic? Yes.

Classes were changed in MMO's this is true. But I mean, think for a second. What do the other regions of the game think? Is monk considered weak to the other regions? Last I checked JP players think Monk is OP, so i'm pretty sure they don't. It's not like we alone get to decide if a class needs to be fixed. The evidence just isn't there to warrant a fix on Monk.

I mean if a few select players want Monks entire core balance and mechanics changed, where as many others are fine with it. I really hate to say this kind of stuff, but it's kind of a learn to play or pick a new class situation.
