    However MNK can be a very good backup silencer when bard mess up their skill cool down.
    Solo MNK is bad, yes. However, you can do single MNK silencing with single BRD support that the MNK can call on to cover their silence if they mess up/need to LB/pass Rot from Tank to Ranged. That works pretty well for silencing. However, it is riskier and not necessarily recommended, as if the MNK dies, it's down to the tank and BRD to silence who might not be in the 'rhythm' to make up for it.

    If you do try this method, have a BRD on VOIP with you to provide support should you screw up the rotation. Expect to have so-so dps and have some rather tense moments of the fight!

    Your method won't work well. human response need 0.2sec, sever latency0.2 sec, most action animation 1 sec. HV is a 1.5sec casting. When MNK screw up and call helping will be too late for most case. MNK can backup bard/pal silence but not in reverse way. I aways try to silence every single time even I have no any silence duty in the group. Bard do miss since human error or they try to avoid laser.MNK 's backup will help. The hard part is rot coming+aoe+area slow effect+water lock back after 25%.
