Monks very weak. Need rebalance

[NoctisUmbra]

Did you even read all three(including that quote) posts? And also he was actually doing 200-230 DPS, as what is already shown in the image.

And then people hitting 300 Dps on a dummy while Titan can be the same as a dummy.

Actually:

120248 dmg / 499.6 s = 240.7 DPS as a MNK for Titan

I'm not saying we're in disagreement. Just making sure I was able to explain myself properly in that post.

What are you even talking about? I read everything. You said you did 300 dps on Titan which I don't believe. Either your parser is wrong or you read it wrong. Noctis showed how logrep shows the average dps wrongly.

Actually, to get a more accurate DPS value for the instance I'd have to first find the exact instance duration. I will do that using my damage and dps values on Titan himself, since the instance begins with the first hit on him and ends when he dies.

102061 dmg / 204.28 dps = 499.6 seconds. That comes out to just over 8 minutes or so, which is in line with what the parser labels the instance duration up top.

So to get my avg DPS for the instance I'd take my total damage for the instance, which is accurate, and divide by 499.6 seconds.

120248 dmg / 499.6 s = 240.7 DPS as a MNK for Titan. Considering I can do 330 DPS on a dummy, and the various GL3 drops and possibility of being jailed associated with Titan, this makes more sense.

P.S: I am in almost full ilvl90 gear (only belt and a ring slot are darklight, the rest melee/allagan) and I was in a merc party with more or less equivalently geared players of other jobs. I did, in fact, top that parse. Not by a landslide, but a reasonable amount.

Titan isn't a dummy, you drop GL and you can get jailed. Even great monks can't have dummy dps on him. Did you average your dps for the length of the fight? Averaging your damage over the length of the fight is a much more accurate way of telling your dps than just using the average of the two phases.

He got 240 dps and his gear better than yours, unless you did the lb (and maybe even then!) it's unlikely you hit 300 in earnest. Your parser would've most likely been inaccurate if it does say that.

just let you know this parser is very wrong and lie to everyone. give misleading info.
if you saw for the gardua HM (another HM fight not favor monk). my dps was 561. I can tell the info is completely wrong.
Bard/BLM/Drg dps is about very similar for this fight. BLM can be very high if u count their aoe dps and same to drg and bard.
MNK isn't dps machine but do a good job only for a fight super long. Drg isn't behind MNK and they can be a super DPS too. MNK just a ok dps without any special skill.

You clearly didn't read my long post where I described in detail how to interpret LogRep's output.

Don't confuse your inability to interpret data for parser inaccuracy.

You're making yourself look bad by posting without reading and understanding others. Stop it.

I've concluded, time and time again, that you are one of the worst authorities on MNK and should simply cease to advise anybody regarding the job.

How funny it is that you are one of the people who would respond to that. Did I hit a nerve? Youre 1000 years to early to comment on my Monk skills.

this post isn't about who is good or bad. You are not good monk if don't understand other job's strength. what I want to say is mnk isn't dps machine.

This thread is all about whos good and who isnt. Monk is amazing dps for competent players. In fact its arguably the best single target dps there is. Thats what we do. Maybe you should learn your own jobs strengths as much as you pretend to know about the others. All I see from certain players in this thread is buff Monk with no actual reasoning behind it. Plenty of Monks top damage with ease, so our damage doesnt suck. Mantra utility is good.

The one thing we all agree on though? One Ilm Punch is terrible right now. Everything else? Fine as is.
