Monks very weak. Need rebalance

[Blooregard]

Yeah... I typically try to avoid talking about SMN just because I never got to personally test the job thoroughly, what with its DPS being heavily based on DoTs, etc. That being said, SMN is definitely capable of very good DPS and I wouldn't be surprised if it rivaled MNK in the hands of a capable player.

Isn't it kind of...completely f***ed if SMN can match our single target while decimating our AoE, having battle res, being able to offheal and being ranged with quick casts to boot?

That doesn't...sound very balanced. I could be missing something, which is why I'm asking you all as more experienced monks than I(only cleared Turn 2 so far and a lot of the dudes in this topic seem much further along.)

Well, single target or not, because the vast majority of fights have at least 2 targets, SMN wins hands down because of cleave dotting.

Sadface!

Also monk AoE is not horrific like you say, and summoner aoe is pretty incredibly hindered at more than 4 targets (turn 4 bugs anyone? >.>) it is pretty awful.
