Concerns about the boosts to drg and mnk

[Cynric]

OP: BLM is very powerful, on both single target and grouped targets. It seems SE intended for the jobs with single target limit breaks to be better DPS for single targets.

And it's nice that you think the best way to play Monk is with rear/flank dance, why don't you level up Monk and find out for yourself which is better, instead of assuming you know what is best for a job you don't play? Personally, I have tested both and get much better results with flank rotation. Guess that makes me a bad Monk?

Yoshida literally said rear flank dancing is the intended way to play them in the live letter.

Q: Please tell us about adjustments planned for jobs other than dragoon.
A: As I mentioned during the previous LIVE letter, there are a lot of cases where melee combos and chains are interrupted making burst DPS difficult, so dragoon and monk will be receiving roughly a 10% increase in damage per second. Rather than reducing the effectiveness of other classes, we will be making adjustments to increase certain elements this time.

Monk's Greased Lightning effect, for example, will be increased. Also, we've noticed that because there are so few damage bonuses for attacking from an enemy's rear, players generally focused on attacking from the side. We'll be increasing bonuses for rear attacks, so if you use monk the way we had intended, your DPS will increase significantly.
