There are few, if any fights where a MNK isn't able to maintain greased lightning. At least not often enough to warrant choosing a DRG over a MNK.

I know Yoshi said melee in general are getting buffed, however I don't feel like a blanket buff would be enough to truly fix the current situation. The difference between the damage potential of MNK and DRG are far too large at the moment. I am not saying that DRG should be "always on top or on par".. I am simply saying that they need to be comparable - and currently the margin between damage potential isn't even close.

With other buffs you COULD add in rotation to boost DPS output . But again i have had no real issues as DRG i have done Ifrit,Garuda,Titan and all the dungeons as DRG and have had no issues . Have yet to do BC
At end-game you would have to have full Allagan, including weapon to make LNC worth using (as you do not have access to Relic & armor).
