Monks very weak. Need rebalance

[Syrus718]

Anyone who doubts A monks true DPS is either repeating what the first idiot who couldn't play monk said or just trolling. its rare that I get out DPS by any class on a single target as a monk even if I'm late to the party I still out Aggro so many on a regular basis and just watch health bars deplete

Did this guy just base damage on aggro bar?

You realise the majority of the other classes have access to -enmity skill right? If you aint 2nd to tank or 3rd to two tanks you are absolutely terrible. Either way it dosnt accurately measure dps against party members.

Not that im saying monk is weak or too strong, i havnt put enough effort to actually calculate it, it seems like its around the same damage as a similarly geared blm but thats likely because monks have to move more and losing greased drops our damage by a large ammount, we outdamage everyone on fights against a single target where movement is minimal.

You can argue monk suffers harder from boss mechanics than most classes, it all depends on if it balances up at the end.

Yeah I agree. Boss mechanics is big problem. These MNK never seen the strength of other job. reason is simple.
1. Most group only invite a melee and they hard to see DRG performance.
2. MNK is easy to gear up. You have better gear than others
3. Some job assigned other task, such ballad, silence, aoe on adds.

No I Do Not consider DPS to Be Based Off Aggro My point was when it comes DPS On A single target It's Hard To out Do a Monk who knows how To Use the job properly, I also only lose GL stacks during Primal Fights. Alot of the complaints I Hear about classes I just see but you probably can chalk that up to not spending months on othe classes day in day out
