DPS standings post 2.1

GOOD MNK ( and there aren't many of them) > BLM > SMN >DRG and average MNK.

Monk buff is insane. While most MNKs I see will have a hard time adjusting to the new rotations due to being "side-only" monks, for the monks who were using the back attacks, you bout to see some crazy stuff. People were laughing at all the aggro buffs warriors got, then they say MNK and DRG buffs and was like. Oh. Now I see why.

I'm fine with mnk dps getting a major boost if it is extremely dependant on being able to skillfully play what is perhaps the most difficult dps role to get right. It will be rewarding skill. As a 1.0 mnk who used to put out pretty insane damage in a lot of fights, I like the fact that the higher skill benchmark is being rewarded and also like the fact that mnks may have to consider hate management as much as they used to.

That is the specific reason I played MNK is for the high skill cap. I am just hoping they do not dumb this class down.

All hail our new/returning Monk (w/ good player) overlords.

DRG that low on the pole? I guess many of you havn't seen a good DRG.

This thread and it's opinions of rank is damn HILARIOUS. I've had no issues being top DPS on ALL my fights.

I'll take the extra DMG boost though, thanks SE.

Remember DRG got buff to heavy thrust DMG buff, and potency buffs to chaos thrust and chaos thrust* (that's dot and upfront dmg), phlebotomize got potency buff, and the jumps got adjusted to be usable (even tho I used them anyways). I fully expect myself to be right behind the monks and making them feel nervous about when ill blow them off the top of the damage pyramid

Single Target:
MNK > BLM > DRG > SMN > BRD

AoE Heavy:
BLM/SMN (Depending on number of mobs) > DRG > BRD > MNK

[kro]

S: MNK
A: BLM/DRG
B: SMN/BRD

Monk was overbuffed. Slight nerf to BLM and decent buff to DRG will put them on a similar level. SMN will still do more damage than BRD, but BRD songs >>> swiftcast res and nerfed virus. I can see SMN going extinct until the next patch.

[Ericyu]

also for DRG's Full Thrust received a potency increase from 300 to 330. I doubt that will be enough to hit the 1.5k crit mark but we'll see....

It would of been nice if they would of adjusted the recast timers on jumps just a tad but hey with enough people crying over the mnk buff we might see it in an upcoming patch. 2.2 info scheduled for Jan. right?
